Propelled by a burgeoning middle class, better connectivity between cities, paucity of time and falling fares, air travel has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years in India. With more planes taking off and landing at Indian airports, the demand for bigger and better facilities, too, has increased manifolds.
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport is often touted as one of the best and most modern complex of its kind in the country. It handles hundreds of aircraft and several thousand passengers daily but just like most infrastructure projects in India, it is also inadequately equipped to handle the massive rush and lacks facilities despite being one of the top airports in the country.
In May 2015, the IGI Delhi Airport saw its highest ever turnover of passengers with more than 4 million people travelling through domestic and international terminals. The main reasons attributed to this huge number are summer vacations and disruption of rail traffic due to the Gujjar agitation in Rajasthan which led to cancellation of many trains between national capital New Delhi and financial capital Mumbai.
