India: Domestic air passenger traffic growth plummets to 3.7% in 2019
India’s domestic air passenger traffic growth slowed to 3.74% in 2019 from 18.60% in 2018, amid a subdued economy and the grounding of Jet Airways. Domestic scheduled carriers carried 144.17m passengers during 2019, against 138.98m passengers in 2018, data issued by the DGCA Monday showed. “This is a bit disappointing. In 2019, we faced headwinds on account of Jet Airways but 2020 is going to be different and the double-digit growth should be back sooner rather than later,” a DGCA official said. InterGlobe Aviation, which operates IndiGo, strengthened its leadership, carrying nearly 1 in every 2 passengers. Its market share stood at 47.1% during 2019, up from 41.5% in 2018. The airline carried 67.91m passengers in 2019, up from nearly 57.62m in 2018. <br/>
