Hyderabad: The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport here logged 16 per cent growth in passenger traffic during 2011-12 but sees growth slowing down in the current year due to the problems faced by the Indian aviation industry.
The world-class airport, which completed four years of operations last month, registered 8.6 million passengers including 1.9 million international passengers.
GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL), which operates the airport, said it was the second airport after Delhi to register the fastest growth of passenger traffic.
"This year does not look as attractive as the two previous years, mainly due to the local challenges in the aviation sector," said GHIAL chief executive officer Vikram Jaisinghani.
The airport had registered 17 per cent growth in passenger traffic during 2010-11.
"It will be a challenge to maintain the growth this year," he told reporters here Thursday.
He, however, does not anticipate a negative growth as demand will continue to grow. He hoped that the second half of the financial year would be better.
