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.
