IGI Airport has steadily improved its quality levels and ranking over the last 5 years after management was transferred to Delhi International Airport (P) Limited (DIAL).
The airport has moved from an ASQ score of 3.02 in 2007, and a rank outside the top 100 to a score of 4.72 and 6th rank across all categories in 2011. This is no ordinary achievement and would not have been possible without the active involvement of all members of the IGI Airport Family.
DIAL thanked the efforts made by agencies like the Customs, Immigration and the Central Industrial Security Force, airlines, concessionaires and housekeeping staff. It also acknowledges its stakeholders, namely, Airports Authority of India, Malaysian Airport Holdings Berhad and Fraport AG who have been steady pillars of support through this entire journey.
I Prabhakara Rao CEO of DIAL said “IGIA has come a long way in the last five years since we took over. We have ensured that quality has become a way of life not just with DIAL employees but with all stakeholders of the IGI Airport family. We are confident that all 30,000 plus members of the IGI Airport family will continue to strive for excellence and we hope to improve our position even further in the coming years”
IGIA has now reaffirmed its position as the premier airport in the country and the true gateway to India. The airport now boasts of an annual passenger capacity of over 60 million, including the state of the art Terminal-3 (T3) which can handle 34 million passengers. 35 million passengers passed through IGIA in 2011 calendar year (CY), including 10 million international passengers (both records in Indian aviation).
The airport also handled over 600,000 tonnes of cargo and over 300,000 aircraft movements in 2011 CY.
