Delhi Airport has made history by becoming the first airport in India to connect to 150 destinations worldwide. This milestone was marked on Sunday with the launch of direct flights between Delhi and Bangkok-Don Mueang (DMK) by Thai AirAsia X, making Bangkok the 150th destination connected to the airport.
The new Delhi-Bangkok route will be serviced by Airbus A330 aircraft twice a week, with plans to increase the frequency to four times a week by mid-January 2025. This addition further strengthens Delhi Airport’s position as a key hub in international travel.
Over the years, Delhi Airport has added more than 20 exclusive international destinations, including Phnom Penh, Bali Denpasar, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare, and Tokyo Haneda, among others. In the last decade, the airport has seen a 100% increase in transfer passengers, cementing its status as a leading transit hub in South Asia.
Delhi Airport is a crucial gateway for long-haul travel from India, with 88% of India’s long-haul destinations connected from Delhi. Additionally, 56% of all long-haul weekly flights departing from India operate from Delhi, with 42% of long-haul passengers choosing Delhi as their preferred gateway.
The airport seamlessly connects around four million domestic passengers to international destinations each year. The introduction of wide-body aircraft by Indian carriers is expected to further transform Delhi Airport into a super-connector hub, reinforcing its global standing.
Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO of Delhi International Airport Limited, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “This milestone of connecting 150 destinations is a testament to our unwavering commitment to enhancing global connectivity and providing world-class travel experiences. We are proud to lead India into a new era of aviation and remain dedicated to being a hub of choice for travelers worldwide.”
With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, passenger-centric facilities, and efficient transfer processes, Delhi Airport continues to set the benchmark for excellence in the aviation industry.
