NEW DELHI: Post the deadly second wave of Covid, India’s air travel is showing signs of revival again. The busiest airport, Delhi’s IGIA, says it has handled 90,000 passengers daily in the first 10 days of this month — up over five times from the numbers seen in May 2021, the peak month of the deadly second wave.
Travel segment “visiting family and relatives (VFR)” has been the biggest reasons for the recovery in airport footfalls, followed by vacationers.
Business travel, with several offices still closed, remains subdued, says Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL).
“In June 2021, most of those who flew were in VFR category (48 %), followed by vacationers (25%) and business travellers (19%),” it said.
