India a key aviation market; air travel demand to be robust: IATA
India is a key aviation market for the Asia Pacific region as well as the rest of the world and is expected to see robust air travel demand, global airlines’ grouping International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday amid the country’s domestic air passenger traffic inching towards pre-Covid levels.
After being significantly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian aviation sector is on the recovery path and airlines are also ramping up their staff as well as expanding routes to cater to the rising travel demand.
On October 9, the daily number of domestic air passengers touched 4 lakh, nearing the pre-Covid level and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday described the trend as a “great sign”.
