Cleartrip targets sustained growth on air and non-air expansion

Cleartrip is positioning itself for sustained expansion in 2027 as it diversifies beyond aviation into adjacent travel services, company executives said. The online travel technology platform more than doubled its growth rate year-on-year in 2026 and aims to replicate that performance while rebalancing its business portfolio toward higher-margin offerings.

"We expect to maintain similar momentum this year while aiming for a stronger business mix," Manjari Singhal, chief growth and business officer at Cleartrip, said. "The share of non-air business, including hotels, buses, trains and holiday packages, is expected to increase and there will be steady growth in air business as well."

Cleartrip's air travel segment is expanding at a pace significantly ahead of industry benchmarks. The company is outgrowing the broader aviation e-commerce market by a factor of 8-10 times, Singhal noted. Non-air services already contribute 27 per cent of overall revenue, up from lower levels previously, with the company targeting approximately 40 per cent by December 2027.

The platform recorded 40 per cent overall year-on-year growth during the first half of 2027, spanning January through June, underscoring its expansion trajectory across both core and emerging service lines.
