The domestic aviation has been growing at 20 per cent every year, for the last four years.
This growth has been highest in the world and it has been sustained, Choubey said at a Global Aviation Summit organised by Ficci.
“This growth is going to be there for at least 20 more years, if only the oil prices behave,” he noted.
Choubey said the government is committed to ensuring that nothing will come in the way of this growth, not even the infrastructure-related issues.
