Airline industry that suffered heavy losses during the Covid pandemic is returning to pre-Covid levels, and has recorded a traffic of 3.8 lakh passengers per day, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia informed the Rajya Sabha on Monday.

Replying to supplementaries during Question hour, the minister said the civil aviation sector is on its way back to recovery and is roughly about 5-6 per cent off from pre-Covid levels.

“I am pleased to report to the house that pre-Covid our maximum number of passengers in India per day was about four lakh and we reached a level of 3.83 lakh per day in the month of December,” Scindia said.
