From 20th rank two years ago to becoming the third most busiest airport in the world, the Delhi Airport has registered an impressive post-pandemic recovery. The airports that outperformed Delhi were – tlanta Hartsfield-Jackson with a scheduled airline capacity of 4.5 million, followed by Dubai international with a capacity of 3.7 million seats. Data released by UK-based global travel data provider company, OAG, states airlines operating into the Delhi airport flew a total of 3.5 million seats in March, a jump of 18 % compared with February.
“Only six of the ‘Top 10 Busiest International Airports’ this month were there in March 2019 (pre-pandemic). Doha, Madrid, New York and Dublin now replace Hong Kong, Singapore, Incheon and Bangkok in March 2022, pushing them out of their Top 10 positions of March 2019,” said OAG. However, it is expected that over the coming months, when more and more countries relax their travel restrictions, Delhi’s rank might slide.
