Delhi Airport ranked among world’s top 10 busiest airports: ACI report
However, Delhi Airport experienced a slight dip in its ranking, conceding its position to Chicago and potentially missing the 9th spot that it secured in 2022
The Airports Council International (ACI) World, an international organization that evaluates airport standards, ranked Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in the 10th position among the busiest airports globally in 2023.
If reports are to go by, Delhi airport has hosted more than 72.2 million passengers, which signifies a steady year-on-year growth of 20.36%, highlighting the robust recovery of India's aviation sector.
However, Delhi Airport experienced a slight dip in its ranking, conceding its position to Chicago and potentially missing the 9th spot that it secured in 2022.
ACI's recent release of the world's busiest airports for 2023 showcases a shifting landscape driven by the resurgence of international air travel.
ACI World Director General Luis Felipe de Oliveira stressed that global air travel in 2023 was chiefly fueled by the international segment, propelled by several factors.
This revival is evident in the rankings, with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport maintaining its status as the busiest airport globally.
Notably, Dubai International Airport made a significant leap to the second position, surpassing Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, now ranked third.
