India, May 7 -- Indian airlines, carrying international passenger traffic originating from, terminating in, or transitioning through India, are expected to witness a surge of 50 percent by fiscal 2028 from the current 43 percent in 2024, according to Crisil Ratings.

As per the rating agency, the improvement would be seen as a result of Indian airlines deploying additional aircraft and adding new routes in the international segment.

The spike would also happen due to the inherent advantage of superior domestic connectivity compared with foreign carriers.

The business profiles of Indian carriers will strengthen from their rising share in international traffic, which is more profitable than the domestic segment.
