Ahmedabad: Flash sales by airlines besides discount offers led to record movement of passengers through city airport during the monsoon season this year. The trend, which began with summer, continued in the monsoon season as more than 14 lakh flyers flew in and out of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport during July-August-September. The preceding three months of summer brought in more than 15 lakh flyers.
According to the latest data available from Airports Authority of India (AAI), movement of 14.30 lakh passengers, including 3.37 lakh international and 10.93 lakh domestic, was recorded in July-September 2015, an increase of 27% compared to the same period last year.
In the period from 2012 to 2014, movement of close to 11 lakh passengers was recorded at city airport in monsoon months due to economy slowdown and sluggish demand. But this year, the trend reversed partly due to positive sentiments and partly because of flash sales and discounts.
