India’s domestic air passenger traffic is projected to reach 300 million by 2030, with approximately USD 11 billion earmarked for airport development, as announced by Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu on Monday.
Speaking at a conference organized by The French Aerospace Industries Association (GIFAS) in the national capital, Naidu said that India and France can work together to develop a robust global SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) supply chain.
He remarked that India ranks among the fastest-growing civil aviation markets worldwide, with airlines expanding their fleets and networks to accommodate rising demand.
Naidu also mentioned that along with the projected increase in passenger traffic, an additional 200 airports are expected to be developed over the next 20 to 25 years.
Currently, India has 157 airports, heliports, and waterdromes, with the number of operational airports anticipated to reach 200 by the end of 2025.
The minister underscored the considerable potential for collaboration between India and France.
