(1/n) This week on #KnowYourSources we talk about data related to 'Domestic Air Transport', published by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The data is released both Monthly, and Annually, in three different reports.

(2/n) The DGCA releases three types of reports for 'Domestic Air Traffic'. First is 'Airline Traffic' data which is available from the year 2014, and published monthly.

(3/n) Monthly domestic air traffic report is more like a summary of domestic operations for a specific month which includes summary data/information of Domestic passengers, Passenger Load Factor, cancellation rate,complaints received by scheduled domestic airlines, reasons,etc.

(4/n) The second type of data is 'Monthly Statistics', released monthly and available from 2009. These contain Airline wise monthly data related to number of Aircrafts flown, number of hours and distance, Cargo carried, Tonne kilometre,etc.

(5/n) Another very important part of the monthly statistics is the 'Domestic City Pair Traffic data' that provides data on number of passengers between two cities (from & to). This is very important to track the changing nature of air transport, busy routes, etc.

(6/n) Third report in domestic air traffic is 'Yearly Statistics', published annually, available from 1997-98. It has data related to monthly, yearly traffic & operating statistics of each airline. Also has data on charter flights & tourists, etc.
