Air passenger traffic worldwide drops, but India scores

Mumbai: Even as air passenger traffic (APT) saw a decline of 0.8% internationally in November due to slow economic growth, industrial labour actions and bad weather, airlines in India not only braved the conditions but also came up trumps.
According to figures released by International Air Transport Association (IATA), India registered a 20% growth in APT in the month over October, when there had been an increase of 10% in APT worldwide.
Except for Africa, carriers in Europe, North America, Latin America, South Asia and Asia Pacific saw slow growth or decline in APT in November compared to October.
