Migrants returning to work and holidaymakers on long weekends spurred flyer numbers in small towns
The saying small is beautiful seems to be especially true for airports located in Indian towns, particularly as aviation limps back to normal in the Covid-19 pandemic.
It started with Belgaum (Karnataka) reporting a positive growth in flyer numbers in September last year. The trend has now gathered momentum with at least five other small airports Gaggal (Himachal Pradesh), Pathankot (Punjab), Prayagraj, Gorakhpur and Hindon (Uttar Pradesh) showing a higher flyer rate in November 2020 than that in November 2019. November 2020 is the latest month for which information is available in the public domain.
