The airport has added over 20 exclusive international destinations including Phnom, Penh, Bali Denpasar, etc. over the years. The airport also saw a 100 per cent rise in transfer passengers over the last decade, serving as one of the leading transit hub in South Asia.
Reportedly, 88 per cent of all long-haul destinations from India are connected from Delhi, and of the long-haul weekly flights from India, 56 per cent operate from Delhi.
