India’s domestic air passenger traffic grew 23.18% to about 10 crore in
2016 compared with the previous year, data released by the Directorate
General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday showed.
In 2016, India’s air traffic stood at 9.98 crore passengers compared with 8.19 crore in 2015 which had seen a 21% growth.
“Almost one crore passengers in December and ten crore in 2016. Indian Aviation is on a roll. May we continue to have safe and vibrant skies,” Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said on micro-blogging website Twitter, adding that demonetisation had not impacted air travel with December witnessing the highest number of passengers in a month.
