Domestic airlines carried almost 2 per cent fewer passengers in June 2013 at 50.14 lakh as compared to the 51.08 lakh flown in the same period in the previous year.

The Directorate-General of Civil Aviation has attributed the decline in passenger numbers flown to the end of the peak holiday season.

IndiGo continues to be the market leader with a market share of 29.5 per cent, followed by SpiceJet 19.5 per cent, Air India (18.9 per cent), Jet (18.1 per cent), Go (8.9 per cent) and JetLite (5.1 per cent).
