The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has urged the government to support airlines in India.
“We are a bit disappointed by the financial relief announced (as) almost nothing is devoted for airlines,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General (DG) and Chief Executive Officer, on Friday evening.
Dip in flight passengers
The IATA’s DG said that there is likely to be a 47 per cent decline in passengers carried by Indian airlines while revenues will be $11 billion less than last year and about three million jobs could be at risk. The IATA DG was participating in a webinar on Designing a sustainable roadmap for the revival of Indian aviation, organised by the CAPA India.
