New Delhi: Travel industry body International Air Transport Association (IATA) Friday said India’s domestic market increased by 7.4 per cent in August over 2013.
“Results for the last two months have been solid, perhaps an early sign of improvement as a result of the new business-supportive government regime,” IATA said in a statement.
According to IATA, India’s domestic demand rose 4.5 per cent in the month under review compared to August 2013.
“August was a good month right across the industry. All regions reported an expansion in demand for air travel. We should, however, keep an eye on potential downside risks,” said Tony Tyler, director general and chief executive, IATA.
Data furnished by the civil aviation ministry, showed that domestic air passenger traffic increased by 8.31 per cent in August to 56.97 lakh passengers-up from 52.60 lakh ferried in the corresponding month last year.
