India Airports


India is an enormous country and although there is excellent land transport links throughout the country, these are often over crowded and uncomfortable and the distance between major centres requires lengthy journeys. It is for these reasons that internal flights within India are so popular. With such a comprehensive selection of internal flight routes, air travel within India offers excellent access to destinations throughout the country. With a reputation for having somewhat chaotic airports, the country’s larger air hubs have undergone renovations and facilities have improved dramatically over recent years.




There are over 30 major airports in India, along with many smaller terminals, making most regions within the country easily accessible by air. The Airports Authority of India manages all major airports throughout the country. The primary gateway to India is Delhi, and it is at Indira Gandhi International Airport New Delhi that most people arrive in the country. Delhi’s airport offers connecting flights to international destinations and domestic locations around the country, while India’s secondary airports at Mumbai in the west, Chennai in the south and Calcutta in the east also provide a wide range of connecting flights to smaller destinations across India.
