Civil aviation is one of the fastest-growing sectors in India’s transport industry; its domestic market alone saw dramatic growth, with a 25% increase in the number of flights scheduled in May 2007 compared to the previous year, according to statistics from the Official Airline Guide (OAG).

This figure represents a staggering 1.7 million additional seats and 8,631 more flights for passengers traveling within India. Interestingly, low-cost carriers which are still a recent phenomenon in India, appear to be performing exceedingly well.
The sector remains equally bullish on the international front, with the number of flights into and out of India rising from 6,800 in May 2001 to 13,200 in May 2007.
