New Delhi:Tier-II cities such as Ranchi, Surat, Vijayawada, Bhubaneswar and Varanasi are driving the aviation growth story in the country, with an impressive rise in passenger traffic in the past year, according to data compiled by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
The 26-per cent growth in the domestic aviation sector was largely because of the demand that is being generated from these Tier-II cities and the addition of new routes and services, an AAI official said.
The regional connectivity scheme is another factor for the rise in traffic, the AAI official added.
Ranchi, for example, has has seen a 90-per cent growth in passenger traffic in March this year as compared to the same period last year.
The growth in Surat has been an overwhelming 179 per cent, registering 65,373 passenger movements in March as against 23,367 during the month last year, according to the latest AAI data.
