The import of fixed-wing aircraft with an unladen weight exceeding 15,000 kg to India is projected to grow consistently from 2024 to 2028, starting at 32.02 units in 2024 and reaching 36.24 units by 2028. Compared to 2023, this represents a steady increase, with an average annual increase approximating a compound annual growth rate over the five-year period. The year-on-year variations reflect a stable growth trajectory aligned with India's expanding aviation sector and increasing demand for larger aircraft.
Looking ahead, India’s aviation industry growth may be driven by several factors including increasing domestic passenger traffic, potential deregulation in the sector, and infrastructure development. Additionally, geopolitical factors and variances in fuel prices could play significant roles in shaping the future import trends of large aircraft.
