India’s air passenger growth may outpace China’s from 2026; likely to be fastest-growing major aviation market over next 3 decades | Business News

Published by Parlour News

The growth rate of India’s air passenger traffic appears set to overtake that of China in 2026, and the former is likely to be the world’s fastest-growing large aviation market over the next three decades, per projections from global airports industry body Airports Council International (ACI). While China’s size as an aviation market is notably bigger than India, the pace of the latter’s growth is expected to gather pace amid rapidly growing air travel demand from a massive population base whose per capita air travel is low, which in turn points to a significant growth potential. China, on the other hand, is already at a level of relatively greater maturity as an aviation market, and the scope of speedy growth may be limited vis-à-vis India. Nevertheless, ACI’s long-term projections show that China is likely to overtake the US as the world’s largest aviation market by passenger numbers by 2053. India, despite the expected faster growth, is likely to maintain its position as the world’s third-largest aviation market over the next 30 years. The relatively high …

Published by Webster

Washington: Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, which was meant to impose levies against all those who tariff US goods, has taken a fresh turn. It has evolved into a slugfest between China and the United States, with Washington now imposing a punishing 125 per cent tax on all Chinese goods. At the same time, tariffs on other nations have been put on hold. Announcing this on his social media platform Truth Social, President Trump said that while China will have to bear the brunt of 125 per cent tariffs, Washington has put a 90-day pause on the other 75 countries against whom reciprocal tariffs were imposed on April 2. CHINA PUNISHED, PUT IN THE CORNER Slamming China for its “lack of respect” shown to world’s markets, President Trump intensified his punishing tariffs against the world’s second-largest economy. “Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately,” he wrote.
