NDTV
The Civil Aviation Minister said that, since 2014, the number of airports has gone up from 74 to 149 and the number of passengers has risen from 6 crore to nearly 14.5 crore.
Aviation has really started on its growth curve in India now and the Delhi airport will become the world's second-largest airport by the end of the year, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said.
In an exclusive interview with NDTV on Wednesday, Mr Scindia said civil aviation infrastructure in the country has expanded at a "scorching" pace under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Delhi airport has a throughput capability of 70 million, which will go up to 109 million come December. That means that Delhi is going to become one of the largest airports in the world. We are going to be second, if at all, only to Atlanta. So that's the scale that you are looking at."
Throughput capacity, in this case, refers to the number of passengers that an airport can handle in a year.
