India's Domestic Air Traffic Drops 12% in June

In June 2026, the number of people flying within India dropped by nearly 12% compared to May 2026.

This means fewer people were traveling by air.

One airline, IndiGo, got more popular and carried more passengers, while another airline, Air India, had fewer passengers.

Airlines also had to pay money to some passengers because flights were canceled or delayed.

Even though there were fewer passengers in June, overall, there were more passengers in the first six months of 2026 compared to the same time last year.
