GoAir stood second in the list with 84.1 % occupancy followed by IndiGo, which recorded 83.1 % occupancy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" India\u2019s leading airline, IndiGo,\u00a0 has achieved a new feat in the month of October 2018 becoming the first domestic airline to fly more than five million passengers in a particular month.
