Indicator Summary

The total number of passengers carried by airlines operating regular, government-approved flight schedules both domestically and internationally is known as the Passenger Traffic Carried by Scheduled Carriers in India. These comprise international airlines that fly to and from India as well as indigenous airlines like Air India, IndiGo, Vistara, and SpiceJet. The total demand for air travel, airline operational capabilities, and the development trajectory of India’s aviation industry are all reflected in passenger traffic data, which includes both domestic and international segments. One important measure of the efficiency, growth, and well-being of the aviation sector is the volume of passengers transported by scheduled carriers. It is indicative of more general economic trends like increase in income, rise in tourism, business activity, and advancements in connection. Infrastructure development, improved accessibility between areas, and growing consumer confidence are all indicated by an increase in passenger traffic. It gives legislators a starting point for organising airport capacity, aviation regulations, and infrastructure expenditures. Additionally, it aids industry participants in evaluating degree of competition, airline performance, and market demand. As one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets, India’s goal of becoming a worldwide centre for air travel depends on maintaining growth and monitoring this indicator.
