India's Domestic Flights See Modest Growth for Winter 2024

Published on: October 18, 2024 - This winter season, India’s domestic flight operations are set to grow modestly, with 25,007 weekly flights planned. Despite a 5.37% increase over last winter, the capacity may still fall short of meeting rising passenger demand. Key challenges include SpiceJet’s 38% reduction in flights and delayed aircraft deliveries due to supply chain disruptions. Air India Express, part of the Tata Group, leads the way with a 46% boost in flights, while market leader IndiGo adds 4%. Will this be enough to satisfy the surge in air travel this season?
