Hey I found this on skyscrapercity. Interesting to note the figures for Mumbai and Delhi. Mumbai has climbed to 62 from 75 a year ago and DEL to 75 from 94. quoting GregPZ Link: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=234590&page=5This is the current top 100 (May'05-May'06). Figures are '000 passenger.
Indian airports definitely have the potential to be close to the top of the list. I hope the Govt realizes that and opens up the airports (and allows multiple airports in a city), so the traffic can grow to it's real potential.
AKLDEL, firstly an excellent post. Secondly a humble request, is it possible to change the title to reflect Ranking Metro airports. I feel this thread could stay here for ever and work as a barometer. I am hopefull of seeing more indian airports on this list by the end of this decade.
OT, reiterating my point on capturing progress / development.
Thanks TM. I shall change the title. However, I do not have accurate figures for the other airports in India. But obviously, I'd love it if someone could post those figures. I believe they are available on some AAI website. I tried to google it but couldnt access most of the links that google displayed. However the approximate figures from wikipedia are 6mn for BLR.
And yeah i shall change the title of the thread.
Cheers
Shub
