India’s domestic air passenger traffic grew by 22.3 per cent in November 2016, topping the growth chart worldwide for the 20th straight month while there was little sign of demonetisation having any immediate negative impact on passenger numbers, according to IATA.
IATA said India continued to witness over 20 per cent growth in domestic air passenger traffic for the 13th consecutive month in November 2016 — when global passenger traffic too saw the strongest demand in nine months.
Globally, total revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) increased 7.6 per cent compared to November 2015 while capacity — available seat kilometres or ASKs — went up by 6.5 per cent.
Apart from India, only two other countries — Russia (15.5 per cent) and China (14.9 per cent) clocked double-digit growth in November last year, according to the IATA data.
