Domestic flights last year jumped by the highest margin in four years, riding on the increased middle class appetite for air travel and cheaper fares by budget carriers like Jambojet.
Official data shows that domestic aircraft movements – landings and takeoffs – grew 13.2 per cent to 203,256 last year compared to 179,483 in 2015 when growth was a paltry 1.5 per cent and 176,046 in 2012.
