A maiden integrated National Civil Aviation Policy and over 20 per cent month-on-month traffic growth gave wings to the country’s civil aviation sector in 2016. The sector reaped benefits out of a rise in domestic disposable income, lower jet fuel prices and enhanced services to the non-metro cities, which accelerated India’s passenger traffic growth in 2016.

It is currently the 9th.
