FOREWORD
DGCA has been publishing on its website the monthly operating statisticsof scheduled airlines and air transport statistics every year. The annualpublication includes besides traffic statistics, fleet, and personnel statisticsas well as time series data.
In the year 20 13, it was decided to bring out regular annual publication viz.Handbook on civil aviation statistics, which illustrates civil aviation dataand brief analysis on passenger & freight traffic, aircraft, air safety, humanresources, operating economics and other aviation related statistics. I havegreat pleasure in releasing the fourth edition of Handbook on Civil AviationStatiStics pertaining to the year,2015-16.
In2O15-16, air traffic registered a robust growth compared to the previousyear. While the domestic passenger traffic registered a growth of 2I.6%o,international passenger traffic witnessed a growth of 8.9o/o during theperiod.
I am sure that the information containJd in this Handbook would be usefulto civil aviation stakeholders and researchers. I wish to complement thestaff of Statistics Division for their efforts to put all the data together andbring out this Handbook.
It will be our endeavour to include more topics in subsequent editions.Users are welcome to send in their suggestions to the Statistics Division ate-mail id:

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
Air Passenger Traffic in India, both domestic and international witnessed a positive growth in the year 2015-16 compared to the previous year.

Figures in parenthesis refer to percentage change over previous year.
ASK is calculated as the sum of products obtained by multiplying the total number of seats that are available in each flight by the
flight stage distance.
RPK is calculated as the sum of the product obtained by multiplying the number of revenue passengers carried on each flight stage
by the stage distance.
The domestic passenger traffic registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.10% during the period 2006-07 to 2015-16 while the international passenger traffic grew at 8.75% (CAGR) during the same period.
During the years from 2006-07 to 2015-16, the capacity (ASK) in the domestic market grew at a rate of 8.04% (CAGR) while the demand (RPK) grew at 10.29% (CAGR) during the same period.

AIR PEGASUS STARTED ITS OPERATIONS IN JULY 2015 AND TRUJET IN MAY 2015.
If we look at Airline-wise Growth in the number of Domestic Passengers, it is found that the high growth of 21.58 % in the total domestic passengers during 2015-16 is mainly due to the high growth in passengers carried by Alliance Air, Jet Airways, IndiGo and Air Asia. Another factor which led to the high growth is the introduction of the new Airlines such as Vistara, Trujet and Air Pegasus.
In the year 2015-16, both ASK and RPK in the domestic market registered a positive growth compared to the previous year. The Passenger Load Factor in the domestic market, which fell from 74.6% in 2012-13 to 73.3% in 2013-14, went up to 82.9% in 2015-16 after rising to 79.0 % in 2014-15.

In the year 2015-16, domestic market experienced expansion in capacity as well as demand which is evident from the Chart 3 as both RPK & ASK witnessed positive growth in all the months as compared to the corresponding months in the previous year. Also, in most of the months YoY growth in RPK exceeded the YoY growth in ASK implying an improvement in the passenger load factor and hence efficiency except for the months of September, December and February.
In the year 2015-16 both in terms of passenger carried and RPK, IndiGo had the maximum market share
followed by Jet Airways, Air India and SpiceJet.

OPERATING ECONOMICS
A higher PLF implies that an airline is successful in selling available seats. However, higher PLF may not result
in higher operating profit. When PLF is less than break-even load factor, the airline in question is running
losses. Evidently, in the year 2014-15, only Air India Express, IndiGo and Go Air were operating at a PLF
higher than break-even load factor (BELF).
While decomposing the airline industry cost structure, it can be seen that Fuel cost accounts for (38.5%) of
the Operating Cost of Indian aviation industry followed by General and Administrative costs (13.5%),
Rental of Flight Equipment (11%) and User Charges (including landing and associated airport charges and
Air Navigation charges) (7.6%).

The cost comparison was undertaken before and after adjusting Operating Cost to Average Stage Length.
Because of high fixed cost of airlines unit cost decrease as distance increases. Hence a stage length
adjustment is necessary for fairer comparison. In the year 2014-15, in terms of cost efficiency of airlines, Air
India Express had the least operating cost (adjusted for stage length) per ASK, followed by IndiGo and Go Air.
Passenger yield is a measure of average fare paid per passenger km flown, calculated by dividing Passenger
Revenue by Revenue Passenger Kilometers. In the year 2014-15, Air India Express had the lowest passenger
yield followed by Air Asia and SpiceJet.
