ICRA Forecasts Strong Growth in Air Passenger Traffic for FY2025

Vinay Kumar G, Vice President & Sector Head, Corporate Ratings, ICRA, remarked, “The recovery in Indian airport passenger traffic has been impressive compared to other major global counterparts. India's share in global passenger traffic rose from 3.8% in CY2019 to 4.2% in CY2023. While global passenger traffic rebounded to only 96% of pre-pandemic levels in CY2023, Indian airport passenger traffic surged to 106% of pre-Covid levels, driven by robust economic growth and the introduction of new airport routes. Indian air passenger traffic is expected to surpass global trends.”
