Domestic Air Passenger Traffic Expands by 14% in FY 2022-23

Domestic air passenger traffic registered a rise of 14% in the last financial year (March 2022-23), as 32.04 million passengers were flown internally by Iranian airlines, new data released by Iran Airports Company show.
This is while the number of takeoffs and landings posted a 9% fall during the period to reach 278,282. 
The surge in passenger traffic, despite the decline in the number of flights, is because restrictions related to Covid-19 were eased after airlines had been enforcing social distancing to fend off the pandemic for over two years.
Over 267.05 million tons of cargo were transported by air during the period, marking a 15% rise.
