Due to the crisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, Delhi Airport’s traffic decreased to 28.5 million passengers in 2020. However, traffic showed good resilience to the crisis in 2021, before recovering strongly in 2022 to reach 59.4 million passengers, or 87% of the 2019 level. This momentum continued in 2023, reaching a volume of 72.2 million passengers, corresponding to 105% of the 2019 level. This growth continued in 2024, reaching 77.8 million passengers, 114% of the 2019 level. This recovery was strongly supported by the domestic segment. By the end of 2024, domestic and international traffic had exceeded their pre-crisis levels.

Infrastructure Originally built on the site of an air force base, Palam Airport (the site of the current Terminal 1), experienced a sharp increase in traffic from the 1970s, leading to the construction of the second terminal, which opened in May 1986 and the expansion of the airside facilities to the south of the airport. Subsequently, it was renamed Delhi International Airport. After the transfer of the operations to the private company DIAL, the third terminal was built by DIAL and inaugurated in 2010. The new Terminal 3 is dedicated to domestic and international traffic. Delhi Airport, initially operating with two runways on either side of the central terminals (T2 and T3) and a third converging runway to the north, has recently expanded its capacity with the completion of a fourth runway in 2023. This new runway is located to the south of the facilities and provides a runway parallel to the existing runway. With this extension, the airport now operates a system of quasi-double runways on the north side and double runways on the south side. At end of 2024, IGIA had a total of 73 passenger boarding bridges (PBB) in the T3 Terminal, 22 PBB in T1 and five PBB in T2, with a total for the three terminals of 100 contact aircraft parking stands and 140 remote parking stands (including 12 stands for cargo operations).
