Indian airlines carried 1.14 crore passengers in October, 10 per cent higher than the number of people flown in September.
Data released by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday showed that domestic air traffic jumped nearly 27 per cent to 114.07 lakh last month compared to the year-ago period when it was 89.85 lakh.
In September, the air traffic number stood at 103.55 lakh.
Air traffic has been picking up in recent months after the airline industry was significantly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The country’s largest airline IndiGo’s market share declined to 56.7 per cent in October compared to the previous month when it stood at 58 per cent.
