International operations to grow at a faster rate as compared to domestic operations Demand, as defined by passenger kilometres (pax-km) of Indian carriers on international operations, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.8 per cent from 2009-10 to 2013-14 while domestic demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.5 per cent in the same period.

Supply, as defined by available seats kilometres (ASKM) of Indian carriers on international operations, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11 per cent from 2009-10 to 2013-14; domestic supply is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5 per cent during the same period. Supply is likely to grow at a faster rate on international operations driven by better profitability and less competitive international routes.

Passenger load factor (PLF) on international operations is expected to improve from 68 per cent in 2008-09 to 76 per cent in 2013-14 while domestic PLFs are likely to improve from 64.4 per cent in 2008-09 to 78 per cent in 2013-14.
