The Indian aviation sector was recently announced as the fifth-largest aviation market in the world by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). India successfully handled a remarkable 241 million air passengers in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, while Indian air passenger volume is increasing year-on-year, the Indian air travel market remains majorly untapped, with only 4% of the population flying regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison to the developed countries, only a fraction of the Indian population uses air transport. However, this trend is gradually changing with Indians emerging as more frequent flyers to different destinations, both domestic and international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now seems to be a golden phase for Indian aviation, driven by favourable demographics, a rapidly expanding middle class and a rising demand for air travel. According to the data by DGCA, India\u2019s air traffic is expected to grow significantly to almost double by 2030, and the government is making strategic infrastructure development to further propel this growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
