Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), located in the nation's capital, was officially renamed in 1986 to honor the former Prime Minister of India; it was previously known as Palam Airport. Originally established as a military base during World War II, it transitioned to civilian use and eventually replaced Safdarjung Airport as the city's primary commercial aviation hub in 1962. Today, it stands as the busiest airport in India and was ranked the tenth busiest airport globally by passenger traffic in 2023 according to Airports Council International. Significant milestones in its development include the 2010 inauguration of Terminal 3, which significantly increased capacity, and its 2020 achievement of becoming the first airport in the Asia-Pacific region to reach Level 4+ Carbon Neutral status. In 2023, the facility further expanded its infrastructure by commissioning a fourth runway and the country’s first dual elevated taxiway. As the primary gateway to a city that serves as India’s political heart, a major IT and business center, and a critical starting point for the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, the airport facilitates the immense flow of diplomats, corporate professionals, and heritage travelers. Its role is vital in connecting the industrial corridors of North India to the global economy while supporting Delhi's status as a premier destination for international trade and cultural exchange.
