Credit ratings agency Icra on Monday revised upward its projection of international air passenger traffic at Indian airports at 80-85 per cent of the pre-pandemic volumes during this fiscal.
The volume of such travellers has already touched 72 per cent of the pre-Covid level in May.
The steep recovery in international passengers’ demand came on the back of resumption of scheduled flight operations in late March in the wake of easing of travel restrictions norms and resilient passenger demand, Icra said in a release.
Major destinations driving the international traffic demand are Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe, it said.
