Summary: According to the Airports Authority of India (AAI), India intends to boost its airport count to 300 by 2047, upgrading airstrips and developing new airports to handle increased passenger traffic. The concept entails transforming existing airstrips into airports for larger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737, renovating 40 airstrips for smaller aircraft, and constructing new airports in neglected regions.

India plans to turn existing areas into airports and build new ones to reach 300 by 2047. Passenger numbers could rise to 3-3.5 billion annually, including 10-12% international travelers. This plan meets the growing demand for stronger aviation growth.
