India witnesses 10.3% rise in international passenger growth in 2017

In 2017, around 60 million international passengers flew to/from India, up from 55 million in 2016, according to a report by IATA, titled ‘The Future is Bright… But Not Without Its Challenges’.  The 2017 outcomes represents an increase of 10.3 per cent on 2016 and is the third consecutive year of double-digit international passenger growth. While the international market has not grown as fast as its domestic counterpart, the sustained period of robust growth, over a number of years, is still readily evident.
