Ahmedabad: The movement of international passengers at SVPI airport in the city for 2011-12 (April-November) is heading south.
A study of the data shows that since April, 2011, the international passenger movement at the airport has been in the negative vis-a-vis 2010-11 (see box). Passenger movement refers to those flying in and out of the city. However, on the upside, the movement of domestic passengers has seen a tremendous increase for the same period.
Interestingly, the negative trend in international passenger movement has got both airline and airport officials baffled. While some blame it on recession, others say it could be because of drop in direct flights connecting the city to various countries. It should be noted that drop in passenger movement also affects the income of the airport.
