Dhaka: IndiGo continued to dominate India's domestic aviation market in June, while SpiceJet's share slipped below 2%, according to the latest passenger data released by the country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation.

The Air India Group remained the second-largest operator, with a 23.9% share, carrying 3.222 million passengers.

Among smaller carriers, Akasa Air continued to consolidate its position, flying 0.861 million passengers to capture a 6.4% share, making it the third-largest domestic airline by passenger traffic.

SpiceJet, however, continued to lose ground. The airline's market share fell below the 2% mark to 1.9%, with 0.263 million passengers flown during the month.
