New Delhi: India registered double-digit growth in domestic air passenger traffic for the 54th consecutive month in February, global airlines' body IATA said Thursday.
In February, neighbouring China was the fastest-growing domestic market with revenue passenger kilometre (RPK) growth of 11.4 per cent while that of India stood at 10 per cent.
RPK is a measure of passenger volumes.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said annual growth in industry-wide RPKs eased to 5.3 per cent in February, broadly in line with its long-run average rate of growth.
Noting that India and Russia also posted double-digit annual growth in February, the grouping said the two markets continue to perform strongly.
"For India, this marks the 54th consecutive month of double-digit domestic RPK growth. A generally solid economic backdrop combined with continued growth in the number of airport pairs have all contributed to this sustained growth performance," it said.
India is one of the fastest-growing domestic aviation markets in the world.
