Indian arrivals at Sydney Airport have grown by nearly 50% and spending has increased 60% since the launch of Air India’s direct service from Delhi to Sydney.
The airport is celebrating the third anniversary of Air India’s inaugural direct service, which it says has significantly boosted tourism and trade over the past three years.
“India is our sixth largest international visitor market and one of our fastest growing markets,” Sydney Airport managing director and chief executive officer Kerrie Mather said.
Since Air India commenced its direct service to Sydney in 2013, the number of seats has grown from zero to 107,000 last year and Indian passengers have increased from 140,000 to more than 200,000 in the same period.
Tourism Australia managing director John O’Sullivan said that Air India’s decision to resume its Sydney service in 2013 represented a key step towards unlocking India’s long term tourism potential.
