About the Host
Delhi International Airport, a cornerstone of India's economic and strategic landscape, is at the heart of connectivity in India. Officially known as Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) is a joint venture among GMR Airports Limited (64%), Airports Authority of India (26%), and Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (10%).
Delhi Airport is not merely a travel hub; it symbolizes India’s expanding global presence, guided by a strategic focus on Passenger Experience, Sustainability, and Technology. It ranks among the world’s top 10 busiest airports, offering direct flights to over 148 destinations across six continents.
With three operational passenger terminals, four runways, and a passenger handling capacity exceeding 100 million annually, Delhi Airport also stands as India's largest. It also leads as a cargo gateway with an annual capacity of 1.8 million metric tonnes, expandable to 2.3 million metric tonnes. The airport features state-of-the-art infrastructure, including an elevated taxiway that enhances operational efficiency and sustainability, and India’s first exclusive General Aviation Terminal for private jets, complete with luxury amenities and dedicated services.
Passenger experience is at the forefront of Delhi Airport’s enhancements. The recent expansion of the International to International (I-to-I) transfer area at Terminal 3, now approximately 3,000 square meters, offers an improved layover experience for international travellers by providing a more comfortable and efficient transfer process.
Technological innovation is at the centre of enhancing operational efficiency at Delhi Airport. The DigiYatra initiative leverages biometric technology to offer a contactless travel experience, streamlining check-ins and security checks.

Beyond these advancements, Delhi Airport enriches the passenger experience with its cultural and visual appeal, showcasing paintings and art installations by various renowned artists. This artistic ambience, combined with its extensive landscaping—featuring over 100,000 trees and thousands of shrubs and flowering plants—creates a lush environment that not only enhances the passenger experience but also contributes to local biodiversity. This dedication to integrating environmental stewardship with operational excellence has earned the airport numerous awards and accolades, setting a global benchmark for airport standards.
In recognition of its outstanding passenger service, Delhi Airport has consistently been acclaimed as one of the best in the Asia-Pacific region. It was awarded the title of best airport in the highest category of more than 40 Million Passengers Per Annum (MPPA) for five consecutive years—2018 through 2022. Continuing this tradition of excellence, the airport recently received the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Best Airport award for 2023 from the Airports Council International (ACI), further underscoring its commitment to exceptional service and operational excellence.

Sustainability is another core pillar of Delhi Airport’s strategy. Terminal 3 and the newly integrated Terminal 1 are both LEED Platinum certified. The airport’s commitment extends to green transportation as well i.e., DIAL has adopted 100% electric vehicles and developed required infrastructure at Delhi Airport. Delhi Airport has also achieved Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport status in August 2024, becoming the first in the Asia-Pacific region to do so. Certification as a "Single-Use Plastic Free Airport" since 2020 further underscores Delhi Airport’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
Strategically located near the airport, GMR Aerocity offers a modern, sustainable urban precinct with a comprehensive ecosystem of hospitality, commercial offices, and social infrastructure, complementing the airport's role as a gateway to India and the world.
The Airport stands as a beacon of India’s progress and aspirations, embodying the nation's values, its vibrant present, and its vision for a connected, efficient, and sustainable future. Through its unwavering commitment to excellence, sustainability, and innovation, Delhi Airport epitomizes the spirit of modern travel and contributes to India’s broader goals on the global stage.
