NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA on Friday said that close to 1.05 crore domestic passengers travelled by air in June, which is about 12.5 per cent lower than the 1.2 crores in May.


During the January-June 2022 period, 5.72 crore people travelled on domestic flights, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said in a monthly statement.


India's largest airline, IndiGo, carried 59.83 lakh passengers in June, a 56.8 per cent share of the domestic market


In June this year, SpiceJet catered to 10.02 lakh passengers and Go First flew 9.99 lakh passengers, according to the data shared by the DGCA.


Vistara, Air India, AirAsia India and Alliance Air carried 9.92 lakh, 7.83 lakh, 5.9 lakh, and 1.2 lakh passengers, respectively, in June, the data showed.


The occupancy rate or load factor for SpiceJet was 84.1 per cent in June, the DGCA noted.


The occupancy rates for IndiGo, Vistara, Go First, Air India and AirAsia India were 78.6 per cent, 83.8 per cent, 78.7 per cent, 75.4 per cent and 75.8 per cent, respectively, in June 2022, it added.


During the last two years, the aviation sector has been significantly impacted due to travel restrictions imposed in India and other countries because of the Covid pandemic.


AirAsia achieved 89.8 per cent on-time performance at four metro airports -- Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai -- in June this year, DGCA data indicated, adding that they had the best on-time performance.


Vistara and IndiGo ranked second and third among these four airports with an on-time performance of 86.4 per cent and 84.5 per cent respectively in June, DGCA said.


In a statement, Sunil Bhaskaran, MD & CEO, AirAsia India, said, "Our focus on maintaining impeccable operational standards has resulted in AirAsia India topping the DGCA charts in OTP again for the third time in a row."


"This recognition is a testimony to the results that can be achieved by leveraging technology and focussing on ensuring consistency while maintaining the highest levels of safety," he added.
