International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said that India's domestic air passenger traffic grew 7.9 percent in June 2019 compared to the year-ago period. It also indicated that the average demand for domestic travel across seven major aviation markets climbed 4.4 percent in June as compared to June 2018, which was a slight slowdown from 4.7 percent annual growth recorded in May.
IATA further highlighted that the overall global passenger traffic (domestic and international) rose by 5 percent compared to June 2018. It also observed that all regions recorded increase in growth, led by airlines in Africa with capacity increasing 3.4 percent, and load factor increasing by 1.6 percentage points to 83.8 percent, in the reporting month.
IATA said June continued the trend of solid passenger demand growth while the record load factor shows that airlines are maximizing efficiency. It also said amid continuing trade tensions between the US and China, and rising economic uncertainty in other regions, growth was not as strong as a year ago.
