According to the report, ‘Maximising the contribution of aviation to the economy’ commissioned by the airline, Vistara, and conducted by industrybody CAPA, aviation can contribute 5% to the country’s GDP or USD 250 billion by 2025. This would mean the existing airports in the metros would not be able to meet the rising demand.
