Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first airport in India to connect 150 destinations. This development was marked by Thai AirAsia X launching a direct flight from Delhi to Bangkok's Don Mueang (DMK), as announced in a recent release. The airport has emerged as a crucial hub for India's long-haul flights, with 88% of all long-haul destinations from the country accessible via Delhi.
Furthermore, 56% of long-haul weekly departures from India are routed through this key airport. In a testament to its growing importance, almost half of the long-haul passengers in India chose Delhi as their starting point. DIAL oversees approximately 1,400 flight movements daily, underscoring the airport's pivotal role in global connectivity.
