India’s airline fleet, airport capacity to likely double in 3-4 years: Scindia

According to Jyotiraditya Scindia India is set to double its commercial fleet and airport capacity in metro cities in the next three to four years.

“There will come a time in India, in the not-too-distant future, the next three years, four years, where our fleet capacity will grow from the current 720 to almost 1,500 aircraft. There will come a time in India, in the not-too-distant future, where if you look at our metro capacities today, which are at roughly 221 million passengers that will grow to about 400 million passengers,” he said.
