AIRPORT-PM 2

The Prime Minister pointed out that analysts predict
that domestic traffic in India can increase up to 160 to 180
million passengers every year and international traffic to
grow in excess of 50 million passengers by 2020.
With the worldwide ranking of Delhi airport improving
from 101 in 2007 to 21 in 2010 in terms of service quality,
Singh also hoped that the airport will shortly rank within the
first 10 airports of the world.
One of the largest terminal in the world, the new
environment-friendly airport which was constructed within 37
months can cater to over 34 million passengers every year.
Singh said that the new airport establishes a new
global benchmark and stressed that "all concerned agencies
should now focus on improving passenger connectivity between
the city and the airport to fully leverage the potential of
this terminal."
He said the terminal will use very high quality
security systems which "will be a source of great comfort to
airlines and passengers."
Emphasising on the need to rapidly improve country's
physical infrastructure, he said, "this is one area where we
have been lagging behind but I am confident that in the time
to come we will achieve much more than in the past." (More)
