Global air travel demand surged 7 per cent last year to 3.8 billion passengers over 2015 with carriers from Asia-Pacific region accounting for more than one-thirds of the total market share, IATA said today.

As per the International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s World Air Transport Statistics (WATS) report for 2017, airlines across the world added 242 million more passengers last year, taking the total number to 3.8 billion as against 3.6 billion in 2015.

Significantly, India was the third largest market in terms of domestic passengers after the US and China, accounting for 5.2 per cent in the total local traffic.

Airlines in the Asia-Pacific region carried the largest number of passengers at 1.3 billion, registering a growth of 11.3 per cent over the year-ago period, it said.

The region was followed by Europe with 992.4 million, an increase of 6.1 per cent market share cent, and North America with 911.5 million passengers, up 3 per cent over 2015, IATA said.

As per the report, the new model airlines (NMAs), a classification that includes Low Cost Carriers (LCCs, accounted for 28.3 per cent of all passengers in 2016, up from 27.1 per cent of passengers in 2015.

Network carriers account for 69.5 per cent of total passengers while leisure carriers[2] contributed 2.2 per cent to passenger volumes.
