India Becomes World's 3rd Largest Domestic Airline Market: Report

India's capacity growth rate of seats over a 10-year average is the highest, growing at 6.9 per cent annually.

Driven by robust growth in the aviation sector in the last decade, India is now the third-largest domestic airline market in the world, up from 5th position 10 years ago.

Ten years ago, India was the smallest market with around 8 million seats, followed by Indonesia at 4th and Brazil at 3rd place, and the US and China occupying the top two positions.

Today, the US and China remain the largest domestic aviation markets.
