IGI - the busiest airport in India

New Delhi: Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital is the busiest airport in the country.
The IGI airport handled an average of 741 flights per day between April and December last year, while Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport stood second with 695 flight movements per day, the Lok Sabha was informed today.
Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi said the Delhi airport handles 741 aircraft movements -- which include landing and take-offs -- per day while Mumbai handles 695 per day. He said sometime delays occur when traffic density exceeds the runway handling capacity but to address this, various measures have been taken like air traffic control automation system at Delhi airport is being upgraded, advanced surface movement guidance and control system has been installed.
