Leading airports India FY 2024, by number of international passengers

The aviation industry in India has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the country and is currently the third-largest domestic civil aviation market worldwide. Indira Gandhi International airport in the country’s capital was the busiest airport in terms of international passengers during the financial year 2024, with over 19 million passengers handled. It was a significant increase in comparison with the previous year, at more than 24 percent. The airport was also the busiest in terms of domestic travel, with over 54.2 million domestic passengers handled in the same time period. The airport now ranks above mega-hubs like Frankfurt, Istanbul Ataturk, and Dallas Forth Worth airports in terms of passenger travel. Market developmentEconomic liberalization in the country was quite beneficial for the aviation industry. Low-cost carriers dominate the domestic aviation market. With the possibility of future investments from the Airport Authority of India, the government seems keen on expanding and improving the airport infrastructure within the nation. Carrier collapseWith a debt of over a billion U.S. dollars, Jet Airways, one of the country’s biggest private airlines, suspended operations in April 2019, leaving the field open for its competitor IndiGo. Following financial difficulties, the former was already suffering increased pressure from owners and passengers alike and was the leading airline in terms of consumer complaints in 2019. The industry, however, looks forward to shaking the mishap and tap into the huge growth opportunities in its path; now with a focus on quality and passenger perspective, in the hope of avoiding a repeat of a domestic airline bankruptcy.

印度航空业已成为该国增长最快的行业之一，目前位居全球第三大国内民用航空市场。在2024财年，位于首都的英迪拉·甘地国际机场在处理国际旅客方面成为世界上最繁忙的机场，共接待了超过1900万旅客。与上一年相比，这一数字增长了超过24%，是一个显著的增长。在处理国内旅客方面，该机场同样是最繁忙的，在同一时间段内处理了超过5420万国内旅客。在旅客旅行方面，该机场的排名已超越法兰克福、伊斯坦布尔阿塔图尔克和达拉斯沃斯堡等大型枢纽机场。市场发展：国家经济自由化对航空业产生了极大的益处。低成本航空公司主导着国内航空市场。随着印度机场管理局未来投资的可能性，政府似乎热衷于在国内扩大并改善机场基础设施。运营商破产：拥有超过10亿美元债务的该国最大的私营航空公司之一，捷特航空，于2019年4月暂停运营，为竞争对手印度航空腾出了市场空间。由于财务困难，捷特航空早已承受来自所有者及乘客的双重压力，并在2019年成为消费者投诉最多的航空公司。然而，该行业正着眼于克服这一不幸，并挖掘其发展道路上的巨大增长机会；现在，着眼于质量和乘客视角，以期避免国内航空公司破产的重演。
