Indian Aviation Sees Strong Winter Demand and Stable Operations

India’s aviation sector recorded strong passenger growth as winter travel demand picked up across domestic and international routes. Major carriers such as IndiGo and Air India increased frequencies on high-demand sectors connecting metro cities and popular tourist destinations, while leisure travel to Goa, the Northeast, and hill stations rose sharply. Airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Goa reported higher footfall driven by holiday travel, weddings, and tourism. Industry analysts noted that operational stability and punctuality remained largely intact despite the surge, setting a positive tone for the peak winter and year-end travel season.
