On October 9, the domestic air passenger traffic touched 4 lakh and was inching closer to the pre-COVID level. The country’s civil aviation sector is on the recovery path after being impacted by the pandemic.
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday tweeted that on October 9, India achieved the milestone of 4 lakh domestic air passengers.
According to an official release, the prime minister lauded the Indian civil aviation for not only hitting the 4-lakh daily passenger mark but also achieving the highest ever number since pre-COVID era.
