As many as 19.84 lakh passengers travelled by air domestically in June 2020 – a sharp 83.5 percent decline compared to June 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said on July 17.
The occupancy rate or passenger load factor for the month was between 50 percent and 60 percent for five of the six Indian airlines, it added. SpiceJet far outran the competition with 68 percent occupancy in June, followed by IndiGo (60.7 percent), GoAir (57.9 percent), Vistara (56.6 percent), AirAsia India and Air India (both 56.5 percent), DGCA data showed.
