Total passenger traffic, including both domestic and international, is predicted to grow by 7–9% year-onyear, reaching 440–450 million. In FY25, international traffic grew by 11%, while domestic traffic increased by 9%, bringing total traffic to 412–415 million.

Over the next four to five years, greenfield airports such as Jewar, Navi Mumbai, Bhogapuram, and Parandur are expected to attract investments of Rs. 1,00,000 crore (US$ 11.61 billion). Brownfield expansions are planned for airports in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin, Mumbai, and Nagpur. International traffic is projected to continue outpacing domestic growth.
