Setting a brand new world record for single runway operations, Mumbai airport on Friday handled 969 takeoffs and landings in 24 hours. This is a world record for an airport that only serves one runway at a time.
India times reported that he had broken his own record of 935 said Mumbai International Airport spokesman of the limited liability company
Record high air traffic (takeoffs and landings) occurs on days when the variety of non-scheduled flights – charter planes, private planes – increases, as was the case on Friday. So when load increases during non-peak hours, latest records are set.
“We hope to cross 1,000 flights a day soon,” an MIAL official was quoted as saying India times.
But Bombay’s latest album is not just a unusual project. According to them, the Indian aviation sector – driven by a mixture of cheaper airfares and rising incomes – is booming Bloomberg.
Indian carriers carried about 100 million domestic passengers last 12 months, and the International Air Transport Association estimates that the market will grow by about 337 million passengers over the following twenty years.
India will turn out to be the world’s third-largest aviation market after China and the United States, and there may be loads of room for further growth: budget airline SpiceJet says 97% of the country’s 1.3 billion population have never flown.
