Indian aviation industry has witnessed a slowdown in air passengers growth, owing to the ongoing Jet Airways crisis. The growth which was recorded at over 8% in February 2019, reduced to mere 3% in March of the same year, says report. This was also caused by the construction that is going on at Mumbai airport, The International Air Transport Association (IATA) report for March 2019 showed.
“The slowdown largely reflects the reduction in flight operations of Jet Airways — which stopped flying in April — as well as disruptions at Mumbai airport owing to construction,” IATA said.
However, Indian airlines have been on an expansion spree since the Jet Airways temporary shutdown since 17 March 2019.
