In his 2009 year-end review for the sector, civil aviation minister Praful Patel had hoped that flying becomes the preferred mode of travel once again in 2010.
His wish has definitely been granted with 18.9% more passengers flying the domestic airlines in 2010. In addition, it has been a year of more flights and newer destinations.
The total number of passengers carried in 2010 (January-November) was 468.09 lakh compared to 393.53 lakh in the corresponding period last year. Aircraft movement grew 3.4% year on year while cargo movement rose 26.9% year on year.
This growth in passenger traffic has also been reflected in the average passenger load factors this year.
According to data available with Director General of Civil Aviation, passenger load factors for domestic operations in India were 70.1% in 2009 (January-December), which have improved to 76.1% in 2010 (January- November).
Total number of domestic flight departures was around 479,148 in 2010 (January- November) compared with 508,051 in 2009 (January-December). The annualised figure for 2010 works out to 522,706, about 2.88% higher than 2009.
