India's Ambitious Plan to Transform Airports into Global Hubs for Seamless International Connectivity

India is developing a national policy to transform its airports into global hubs, streamlining laws to ease security and immigration processes, allocating international flying rights, and enhancing infrastructure. The aim is to rival hubs like Dubai and Singapore's Changi Airport, reducing revenue loss as 69% of Indian passengers chose foreign hubs for Europe and North America travel in 2020. The challenge lies in coordinating efforts across ministries overseeing security, immigration, and infrastructure. A unified policy is crucial to tap into international traffic, benefitting airlines like Air India and IndiGo.
