The month of May this year saw the highest number of air travellers since the pandemic at 1.20 crore, according to DGCA’s monthly data.
May also saw a growth of 9.8% in domestic air passenger traffic.
The numbers seen in the month are close to those seen in February 2020 — at 1.23 crore passengers — before travel restrictions on account of COVID-19 began to be imposed in the country, followed by a total ban on domestic and international flights in the last week of March 2020.
