The primary civilian aviation hub is Indira Gandhi International Airport in


the National Capital Region of Delhi.[21] Since 2009, it has been the busiest
airport in India in terms of passenger traffic and international traffic, and the
second-busiest in terms of cargo traffic (after Mumbai).[22] Since 2010, it has
had the capacity to handle more than 40 million passengers per year, with
a planned expansion for 100 million passengers by 2030.[23]
UDAN is assessing 486 existing airports for potential development.
[24]
 Phase I of UDAN helped to raise the number of operational civil aviation
airports to 131, a 34% increase over 20 months.[25] In addition, the Airport
Authority of India (AAI) granted in-principal approval to 19 new airports in
December 2017.[26] In September 2018, the Civil Aviation Minister said that
as many as 100 new airports would be built in the next 10 to 15 years to
meet the growing domestic demand.[27][28]
In 2015, there were 22 airlines operating in India, which add a total of about
50 airliners to their fleets each year.[26] To support these fleets, several
aviation-industrial parks are being set up, such as in Hisar[29][30][31] Gujarat,
[32]
 and Chennai.
As far as the airlines are concerned, there are a number of companies, both
public and private sector, which are providing passenger transport and cargo
handling services in the country. In the public sector, there are mainly Air
India, Air India Charters Limited and Alliance Air. In the private sector,
there are 8 scheduled airlines (passenger), namely, Jet Airways, Sahara
Airlines, Deccan Aviation, Go Airways, Spice Jet, Kingfisher
Airlines, Paramount Airways and Inter Globe Aviation Ltd. (Indigo).
There is also a cargo private scheduled airline called as the Blue Dart
Aviation Ltd. Besides, there are 86 companies, holding non-scheduled air
transport operators permit.

In India, airports were totally owned and managed by central government or the armed
forces. The Airport Authority of India (AAI), a body functioning under the Ministry of Civil
Aviation was responsible for managing the airports in India. It owns 122 airports, 61 of
which are operational. The breakdown is as follows: 11 international 94 civil and 27 civil
enclaves at defense airfields. The AAI operate most aspects of the airport (including air
traffic control) and procure most of their equipment directly (via global/local tenders).
India‟s airports handle 42 million passengers, of which the four Metro gateway airports
(Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai) account for 47% of revenue and 66% of the
passengers. Until 2000, there were five major international airports, - Mumbai, Kolkata,
Delhi, Chennai and Trivandrum. But the GoI announced a further six airports including
Amritsar, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin during the course of 2002.

Airport infrastructure is linked to development of India's international competitiveness


and her ability to attract foreign investments. The policy opened the doors of private
investment in this sector, including investments from foreign airport authorities.
