The year-on-year comparison of the number of scheduled domestic passengers carried in India measures the annual change in air passenger traffic within the country across all scheduled airlines. This indicator captures the performance and demand trends in India’s domestic aviation industry by showing how the number of air travellers increases or decreases from year to year. It offers information on passenger mobility, the cost of air travel, the growth of new routes, and the general state of the aviation sector. Scheduled airlines that fly domestic routes throughout India are included in the data, which is normally obtained from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Understanding the growth trajectory of India’s aviation industry, which has a direct impact on tourism, economic activity, and regional connectivity, requires this comparison. A steady rise in passengers suggests increased consumer confidence, higher incomes, and better aviation infrastructure; a fall could be a sign of operational difficulties or economic slowdowns. This information is used by policymakers and airline operators to make well-informed choices about airport development, pricing policies, and fleet expansion. Additionally, it shows how India is doing in terms of becoming one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world, which is in line with the country’s objectives of promoting regional economic integration and increasing mobility through programs like UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik).
