In a historic milestone, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport has become the first in India to establish connections to 150 global destinations. This remarkable achievement was highlighted by the launch of Thai AirAsia X’s direct flights between Delhi and Bangkok-Don Mueang (DMK) on Sunday. Initially, the flights will operate twice a week using Airbus A330 aircraft, with plans to increase to four times a week by mid-January 2025. As a key air hub in India, IGI Airport plays a critical role in connecting the country to major international destinations. It facilitates access to 88% of India’s long-haul markets and accounts for over 56% of the country’s weekly long-haul departures. Additionally, 42% of all long-haul travelers from India use Delhi as their point of departure. The airport serves more than 4 million domestic passengers annually, ensuring smooth connections to a wide range of international locations. In recent years, IGI has significantly expanded its global network, adding over 20 international destinations. Among the new cities served are major hubs such as Calgary, Montreal, Phnom Penh, Washington D.C. (Dulles), and Tokyo (Haneda). This growth has been driven in part by the increased deployment of wide-body aircraft by Indian carriers, reinforcing Delhi’s position as a major "super-connector" in global aviation.
