Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Monday that the domestic air traveller count could reach pre-C ovid levels in another two months or so.
Before COVID -19 began to spread in India in early 2020, daily domestic travellers were at four lakh per day or 1.27 crore passengers per month. On Sundays, there were 3.5 lakh travellers, according to the Minister.
“All things remaining equal, in the next two months or so, you should see us crossing pre-COVID levels in terms of daily passengers... that will herald new demand, new capacity coming in, both at airports and airlines,” the Minister said at an event organised by the All India Management Association (AIMA).
