Booking Airlines 2010






Booking Airlines 2010

It is anticipated that over 3.5 million tourists would be converging upon Besides the completion of the new terminal, 2010 will also see Delhi hosting the Commonwealth Games. With the opening of this terminal, India can now also play host to the Airbus A 380, the biggest passenger carrier in the world. It would not be unreasonable to assume that many airlines would increase the density of flights to India as the country is now better equipped to handle more visitors. The terminal spans more than four square kilometres and has 78 aerobridges, 97 automated walkways, and 168 check-in counters.

Billions of pounds went into its construction. This terminal is now said to be the sixth largest in the world with a capacity to handle 37 million passengers every year. A case in point is the successful completion of Terminal 3 in the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Earnest government efforts are also highly likely to boost the travel industry. In fact, there have been estimates that the travel industry would grow by 5-6%, which is a shade higher than the predicted global average growth of 4.5%.

However, as of now, there are many positive projections. In 2009, global travel markets dipped by as much as about 15% and India could not escape completely unscathed from the scenario. This is also in line with the changing global scenario, which is slowly recuperating from the worldwide economic slump. There are indications that the Indian travel industry would be doing a turn around in 2010 after a somewhat bleak season in 2009.
