New Delh: Becoming the hub of at least two airlines and housing a 43-acre hospitality district, the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here is set for a big leap in passenger traffic. Currently, no airport in India caters to two airlines as a hub or a base of operations. Also, there is neither any hospitality-based Aerocity operational anywhere else in the country.
"Delhi airport is already the busiest in India with passenger traffic growing in double digits. Addition of infrastructure like Aerocity project will help it in absorbing the growth in passenger traffic," said Rajiv Chib, associate director, aerospace and defence at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Marcel Hungerbuehler, chief operating officer, Delhi International Airport Limited, the company which manages Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, concurred. "We already have world class infrastructure in place to handle any exponential growth in passenger traffic," he told IANS.
"Air India has already made terminal-3 (T3) as its hub and we will be pleased if the proposed Tata-SIA (Singapore Airlines) airline makes IGIA its base or hub in the future," he added.
