01 Aug 2011 Evaluate

India’s domestic aviation traffic continues to grow in double digit for the month of June. The Indian aviation traffic registered the second highest growth in the month of June; it grew by 14%, which is higher than the growth in the international passenger traffic, which grew by 4.4%.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said, 'Brazil led domestic growth with a 15.1% demand expansion over the previous year, propelled by strong growth in household incomes. Brazil was followed by India at 14%. While China’s 5.0% growth is also impressive, it is a step change from the 14.6% recorded in 2010 and the 10.4% recorded in May”.

IATA, noted that China, the second largest domestic market, still had enormous potential, and it said that the slowdown in its international markets reflected “a squeeze on consumer spending power by tight economic policies.

The demand in Japanese domestic markets is still suffering from the effects of March’s Tsunami and earthquake. It registered a record fall of 24.6% in June 2011. However, this is a slow improvement in demand, which had reduced by 27.8% in May 2011. The US, which represents more than 50% of domestic travel, registered 1.3% growth in June. On the other hand, Latin America also saw a healthy growth of 14.3% in June 2011 over last year. 

However, IATA’s analysis showed that the passenger traffic is growing, but with the slower pace, indicating slower economic growth and increased coast due to higher jet fuel prices and increasing taxation in the some counties, including India.
