Business Standard
|April 12, 2025
Delhi Airport is expected to meet global hub criteria in the next two years, driven by a steady rise in international passenger traffic and a significant improvement in connecting flights, said Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, chief executive officer (CEO), Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) on Friday.
A study by a global consultancy recently identified key benchmarks Delhi Airport must meet to qualify as an international hub, and Delhi is closing in on the targets.
Speaking at a press conference, Jaipuriar said, "The consultancy conducted a study on hubs across the world and came out with a benchmark for Indian hubs. To become a global hub, it said, the Delhi Airport should have international traffic of around 24 million. When the study was conducted, our international traffic was about 18 million. Last year, 2024-25, we clocked about 21.6 million. We are expecting that in the next one to two years, we will go beyond 24 million international passengers per year."
