Domestic air traffic grew by 13.4% in September

21 Oct 2013 Evaluate

In a big respite to the ailing domestic Aviation sector, the domestic traffic grew for the second consecutive month despite steep fare increases by most airlines. Airlines had raised fares from September 2013 by 25-30%. However, the substantial number of flyers who travelled last month had actually purchased their tickets earlier when fares were low and the steep rise in fare may not have reflected in the numbers but the peak travel months of October-December may see some moderation in flyers due to higher fares.

As per data released by aviation regulator DGCA, traffic grew a healthy 13.4% in September with 45.55 lakh flyers against 40.18 lakh. The industry has seen constant fall in the past three years but witnessed a bounce back in the month of August 2013 with a robust 20.4% increase over the same month last year. Airlines wise, low-cost carrier IndiGo once again proved its superiority and remained the market leader with a 30.3% share in domestic travel in September, Air India closely followed and saw the highest aircraft occupancy for the second month in a row with 20.3% share. Jet Airways (standalone) was at 19.1% and Jet Group (combined with JetLite) 24.3% share of the market, SpiceJet at 17.3% and Go Air held 7.5% of market share.

Performance wise too, Indigo remained number one with 95.9% on time performance at 6 metros, followed by Jet group with 92.3%, SpiceJet 91.7%, GoAir 86.7%, while Air India continued to lag at bottom with 84% on time performance.

However, on the occupancy front though no domestic airline was able to fill even 75% of seats on its planes, Air India topped the chart with 73.2%, followed by IndiGo 70.3%, SpiceJet 67.9%, GoAir 67.5%, Jet 63.7% and JetLite 63%.
