evidence: IndiGo, India's largest carrier by fleet, domestic and international market share, last week became the first-ever carrier to have ferried 100 million passengers in a financial year. [...] At the start of December, Air India was 62,37,870 passengers short of the magic figure of 100 million this fiscal. At an average of 2.98 lakh passengers, the airline would have crossed that number on the 21st of December. However, it achieved the figure three days earlier. [...] By the end of November, the airline had carried 70.36 million passengers and remained on track to carry 30 million passengers from December to March, achieving the 100 million mark this fiscal.
