The domestic air passenger traffic is estimated to grow at 7-10 per cent in 2025-26. However, the yields for airline operators are likely to be under pressure, as airlines strive to maintain adequate passenger load factor (PLF).

International passenger traffic for Indian carriers is expected to grow by 15-20 per cent in 2025-26.
