Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is betting on long-term growth in Indian aviation despite a short-term dip in traffic caused by the ongoing Iran conflict, with operator GMR Airports saying the disruption to Middle East routes is largely temporary and concentrated in transfer traffic.
“There will be a short term impact. But in the medium to long term, we are very bullish on the prospects of the Indian economy as a whole and aviation,” GMR Airports chairman GBS Raju told The Times of India in an interview marking 20 years of the group’s Delhi airport concession.
