Mumbai: The country's top airports would see eight per cent growth in daily departures, with airlines adding flights this summer.
Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad airports, which together handle over half of the Indian air traffic, handled 1,114 departures daily in the winter schedule. This will rise to 1,203 in summer.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation approves the schedules of both domestic and foreign airlines; the summer schedule takes effect next week. The regulator, however, is yet to announce the approved schedules.
Domestic traffic grew 9.7 per cent in 2014 over the previous year and January saw a growth of 21 per cent in domestic traffic, fuelled by discount offers.
IndiGo, the largest domestic airline by market share, is introducing a Kolkata-Dimapur flight and additional ones from Delhi to Kolkata, Varanasi and Indore, plus flights between Mumbai and Indore and Mumbai and Raipur.
