IATA Director General Willie Walsh said the rate of growth in the Indian aviation market will be higher than in China.

Against the backdrop of foreign airlines getting tax notices in recent times, Walsh said the taxation system in India is complex and there needs to be “greater uncertainty”. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) represents over 350 airlines globally.
