18 Dec
Summary
- India's aviation sector faced challenges in 2025, with air traffic growth slowing.
- Passenger demand is surging, driven by a need for more aircraft capacity.
- India leads Asia Pacific in biometric adoption with Digi Yatra at airports.
In 2025, India's aviation industry navigated a period of challenge, marked by a slowdown in air traffic growth. This was largely attributed to a capacity crunch, with demand for air travel significantly outpacing the availability of aircraft. Despite these headwinds, passenger demand continues its upward trajectory, signaling robust future growth potential for the sector.
Technological investment is a key trend, with over 90 percent of global airlines and airports prioritizing innovations. In India, the focus is on enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency. Notably, India has emerged as a leader in biometric adoption within the Asia Pacific region, largely due to the widespread implementation of the Digi Yatra system at its airports.
