“In India, domestic Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) contracted by 49.6 per cent year-on-year in November vs. 55.6 per cent fall in October. A further improvement is expected in the near-term as more schools and businesses reopen,” IATA said in the report.

The IATA, which represents around 290 airlines comprising 82 per cent of global air traffic, measures passenger growth in RPKs terms, which is calculated by multiplying the number of passengers to the distance travelled by them.
