India’s international air travel hit record 2 crore passengers in October-December
NEW DELHI: International air travel in and out of India touched a new quarterly high and crossed the two-crore mark for the first time in October-December 2025.
Despite travel to the US remaining subdued due to visa issues across categories such as students and H-1B during President Trump’s second presidency; Canada’s high rejection rate for Indian visa applicants and issuance delays and the reduction in flights by Air India after AI 171 Ahmedabad crash last June, last calendar year saw 7.8 crore people fly to and from India – 8% more than previous year’s 7.2 crore, according to DGCA data.
