31 May 2025 CW Team

The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi has been recognised among the top ten hub airports in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region, according to the 2024 rankings released by Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East (ACI APAC & MID). IGIA is the only Indian airport on the list and is ranked tenth.

These hub airports act as central connection points for flights, enabling efficient transfer of passengers and cargo. The new ‘Hub Connectivity Index’ launched in the 2025 edition evaluates airports on transfer viability, timing efficiency, connectivity reach, and routing effectiveness.

Delhi Airport currently provides connectivity to 153 destinations — eighty-one domestic and seventy-two international. It handles 56 per cent of all India-origin long-haul weekly flights and connects to eighty-eight per cent of the country's long-haul destinations. In recent years, over twenty exclusive international routes have been added, including destinations such as Tokyo Haneda, Montreal, Vancouver, and Washington Dulles.
