List of Airports in India

There are various domestic and international airports in India. The major airports with the highest footfall include the Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru airports.

India is a vast country with several landscapes and terrains. A range of airports in India makes it easy to travel quickly throughout the country and connect with the world. The airports include international airports which conduct flights between international destinations whereas domestic airports host flights that operate between several Indian cities. Some airports offer domestic and international flight facilities. The airport authority of India (AAI) is a government body that establishes and maintains the country’s airports.

Apart from the usual citizen airports, there are also a set of defence airports in India. The Indian Armed Forces  control all of the nation’s defence airports as it utilises them as an airbase. When a section of a military airport is designated as a civil enclave and handed over to the Airports Authority of India (AAI), it is utilised to begin commercial aviation operations.
