An industry consultant says airports in Asia are operating at close to full capacity and urgent investment is needed for upgrading infrastructure.
The Sydney-based Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation says in a report the problem is acute in the fast-growing markets of India, China, Indonesia and Vietnam.
These countries are driving the region's booming air travel demand.
The consultancy report says the problems are not confined to infrastructure at airports.
It says urgent attention is needed to relieve air traffic congestion in traffic hotspots, including the Pearl Delta and Yangtze River delta regions in China.
