According to data released by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on July 22, domestic air passenger traffic decreased to Rs1.0512 crores in June 2022, a decrease of 12.5 % from the previous month.

Even while air traffic has gotten a little bit closer to pre-pandemic levels, the sequential decline in passengers in June was primarily caused by seasonality because summer vacations in India typically conclude in May.

In addition to a number of safety-related events that have been recorded in the aviation sector over the last few months, rising costs of aviation turbine fuel and price increases implemented by domestic airlines in India have also reduced travelers’ willingness to go.

IndiGo’s passenger load factor decreased by 78.6% in the last month compared to a rise of 81 % in May. SpiceJet’s passenger load factor decreased throughout the time from 89.1 % to 84.1 %.
