Earlier in the day, Scindia had tweeted, "On the road to full recovery, the Indian civil aviation has not only hit the 4-lakh daily passengers mark, but also achieved the highest ever numbers since pre Covid 19 era! Way to go".
The development comes as the Indian aviation sector achieved the milestone of 4 lakh domestic passengers on 9 October, inching closer to pre-Covid levels.
