Meanwhile, India's air traffic is expected to rise by about 15 per cent to 155 million passengers in 2023-24, despite the grounding of Go First, according to aviation advisory and research firm CAPA India.

Despite the sudden exit of Go First in May this year, the fact that there are 150+ aircraft still on the ground, and the worsening supply chain issues (in contrast to the improvement that was expected), domestic traffic in India has shown resilience, the advisory firm said in its latest aviation outlook report.
"As of now, Indian carriers have around 150+ aircraft on the ground, largely due to supply chain and other issues," the report said. This could cross 200 aircraft by the end of March 2024.
