Approximately 130 million passengers fly over India annually, with about 10 per cent of this transit traffic handled by Dubai and 7.5 per cent by Doha.

 In comparison, Delhi currently handles less than 1 per cent of this transit traffic, highlighting a significant growth opportunity, Aggarwal said during a press briefing.

Aggarwal emphasised the untapped potential in the Europe-Australia corridor, which Indian carriers have largely overlooked.

Since 2019-20, revenue from Air India’s front cabins (business class and premium economy) has grown 2.3 times, while revenue from economy class has increased 1.6 times.
