India’s Civil Aviation Ministry warned international travellers against fake Air Suvidha 2.0 payment portals, stressing the mandatory health declaration is free. Separately, domestic air traffic rose 1.44% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, while June traffic declined month-on-month.

Why this matters

No related recent Ministry of Civil Aviation signals were supplied. The warning adds a traveller-fraud concern to the steady footfall theme while domestic traffic records modest first-half growth.

Footfall is steady, with 480 signals recorded in the past 90 days; no QoQ change was supplied.
