Almost 40 million passengers travelled through New Delhi’s airport in the past 12 months, according to Delhi International Airport Ltd’s chief operating officer Marcel Hungerbhueler.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport has undergone significant developments in order to accommodate bigger aircrafts such as the Airbus 380, and a bigger capacity of travellers.
The airport is home to three runways, and, as Hungerbhueler explained to Travel Today during a media tour of the operations and control centre, can accommodate up to 86 movements per hour.
The runway was built in 2009, and took the annual passenger movement from 16 million to 39.4 million this year, marking a 10% growth in passenger arrival in 2014.
The newest runway also took the movement capacity per hour from 32 to 75 on average.
