India's aviation sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, according to a report by the Sunday Guardian.
Citing the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (India), the newspaper said the growth in the past 10 years has eclipsed that in the past 50 years. In the past decade, domestic airport traffic has jumped from 51 million passengers to 169 million passengers, while international airport traffic has gone up from 22 million passengers to 55 million passengers.
The number of domestic airport traffic in the past 10 years is about three times that of the domestic airport traffic in the past 50 years.
India’s international traffic also has the potential to double in size in the next five years.
The report suggests investments in airports and infrastructure will be needed over the next 10 years in order to avoid a capacity crisis.
