Architecture + Cities Research Forum: “An analysis of air travel between India and North America” by Frances Kremarik

India is a growing market for air travel, both domestically and internationally. This seminar presented research based on a longitudinal study that examines air travel patterns from 2005 to 2017 between India and North America using airline schedules and PaxIS data. The results indicate that India relied upon indirect connections to facilitate travel to North America, but the hubs used has changed over the years. Air travel was almost totally undertaken over the North Atlantic, but airplane technology and more recently geopolitical issues have seen the development of flights over the Pacific Ocean. The Indian market continues to grow leading to a concurrent growth in international travel.
