New Delhi: A Turkish Airlines survey on aviation trend in India has said 50 per cent of the respondents prefer air travel to other modes of transport with most of them looking forward to having in-flight connectivity and onboard mobile phone calls.
It said the business class travel has seen a gradual rise with 44 per cent of the survey respondents having travelled in business class in the past two years.
The survey, conducted in association with Nielson, covered roughly 600 respondents to understand their likes and dislikes in 'before flight', 'during flight' and 'after flight' phases of the journey.
"...there is a growing acceptance of airline travel as a preferred mode of travel in India due to the growth of the sector with increased options in the form of airlines, routes and benefits.
"50 per cent of the respondents preferred air-travel versus other forms of transport. 99 per cent of the respondents to the survey also expressed a willingness to take a long-haul flight in the next two years," a statement issued by the airline said.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) data for the last two quarters revealed that domestic air traffic in the country has consistently registered a growth of over 20 per cent, touching as high as 28 per cent in March this year.
