Domestic aviation industry’s loss may widen to Rs 9,500-10,500 cr this fiscal: Report

Domestic aviation industry’s net losses are projected to nearly double to Rs 9,500 to Rs 10,500 crore in the current fiscal ending March next year, mainly impacted by moderating passenger growth and higher costs due to aircraft deliveries, a report said on Tuesday.

While maintaining a stable outlook and projecting 4-6 per cent domestic passenger traffic growth in FY26, rating agency Icra said the airline industry’s financial performance is expected to remain under pressure.
