India's domestic air traffic has hit a record high, with 456,082 passengers flying on a single day, BBC reports, citing India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation.

"The skyrocketing domestic passenger traffic post Covid is a reflection of India's high growth," aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted, according to the article.

More than 37.5m passengers were carried by domestic airlines in just the first three months of 2023, it adds.

This marked a 51.7% growth compared to a year ago, data from the country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation showed.
