Vaccination drive, dip in Covid cases help domestic air travel soar

Domestic air travel demand was on a steady rise worldwide until August when concerns over the Covid-19 Delta variant reversed the trend in countries such as China, US, Japan, Australia and Brazil. By contrast, in India, buoyed by vaccination drives and a drop in Covid cases, domestic traffic demand has continued its steady month-on-month climb since June, according to recent data released by International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airlines’ trade body.
