Infrastructure Expansion
\n
Airport capacity is keeping pace, with the planned new airports at Navi Mumbai and Noida International (near Delhi) scheduled for opening in mid to late 2025, bringing much needed room for growth in both of these metropolitan areas. More widely, there are plans for 50 new airports across India to be constructed between now and the end of the decade, and more into the 2030s. India currently has 117 airports with scheduled services, and the aspiration nationally is for this to grow above 200, facilitating the vision that 95% of India’s population should be within 100km of an airport.
\n
Currently two thirds of India’s domestic capacity operates through the Top 10 largest airports, however this is likely to become more widely distributed as new airports are constructed, and route networks grow.
\n
\n
Looking inwards, domestic capacity has experienced strong growth in the last couple of years, with a rate of 7.8% for the 12 months to July 2025, compared to the previous 12 months. In the first quarter of 2025, domestic capacity grew at an average rate of 10% compared to 2024, whilst in quarter two this slowed slightly to 8.4%. The latest capacity data for July 2025 shows a contraction in domestic capacity, by 2.2% compared to July 2024 partly as the delivery pipeline of new aircraft provides a brake on expansion and there is a slight slowdown in India’s economic growth.

India’s aviation market is on the cusp of significant transformation. With rapid growth in both domestic and international sectors, and substantial investments in infrastructure, the country is preparing to become a global aviation hub. OAG will continue to monitor this evolution closely through its data dashboards, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders.

Indian Aviation’s Growth in Context
\n
India is the world’s most populous nation, but despite this, it ranks third globally in domestic air capacity, trailing behind the United States and China which have much more mature air service markets. Access to air travel in India is growing fast, however, as disposable income grows in the emerging middle class and air connectivity improves across the vast geography of India. This is undoubtedly driving international air capacity growth which this July is a very healthy 8.1% ahead of July 2024, with particularly strong growth to destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia.
\n
With India’s two largest carriers – IndiGo and the Air India group - leading the transformation and growth of India’s aviation sector and collectively accounting for just over three quarters of capacity, OAG provides visibility on how they, and others, are growing year on year and where the focus of that growth is.

Big Tech is quietly rewriting the front end of the travel experience.
\n
Historically, airlines and airports have owned the key touchpoints between passengers and their journey, including check-in, boarding passes, flight updates, and baggage tracking. But that control is starting to shift.
\n
\n
In July, some of the most noteworthy innovations in air travel didn’t come from within the industry, but from consumer tech giants.
\n
Big Tech is moving deeper into travel, embedding itself at critical moments in the passenger experience, as you’ll see in this edition.
\n
\n
The implications are profound.
\n
As user attention and expectations are increasingly shaped by these external platforms, airlines may no longer be able to define what a “good” customer experience looks like.
\n
Instead, they’ll be expected to operate within the design logic and interface rules of iPhones, Apple Wallets, and AI assistants.
\n
In this month’s Innovation Radar, we highlight three standout moves that signal this shift.
\n
Together, they paint a clear picture: the future of the travel user experience may be built on someone else’s platform.
\n
Innovation #1: Apple Brings TSA-Approved Digital Passports to the Wallet
\n
After years of discussing “digital identity” in travel, we’re finally seeing a concrete step forward, this time led by one of the world’s most influential tech players. Apple recently announced that U.S. iPhone users will soon be able to add their passports to their Apple Wallets, creating a TSA-approved digital ID usable at domestic airport security checkpoints.
\n
It’s a move many are calling a milestone in modernizing the travel experience.
\n
What exactly is happening?
\n
With the rollout of this feature, travelers can now store and present their passports digitally, much like a boarding pass.
\n
Here is how the process works:
\n
\n
Users upload passport details into their Apple Wallets.
\n
TSA scans and verifies the digital IDs at security checkpoints.
\n
Noneed to carry or hand over a physical document.
\n
\n
This initiative builds on Apple’s earlier support for digital driver’s licenses in select states. But, by enabling digital passports, Apple is now pushing deeper into the heart of the travel identity stack.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Digital identity has long been viewed as a key unlock for seamless travel, but its adoption has not kept pace with the hype, especially given the complex combination of regulatory requirements, safety concerns, and the need for multi-stakeholder cooperation. Apple’s announcement appears to be a breakthrough. Not only does it simplify airport security processes and reduce document-handling friction, but it also aligns with the upcoming enforcement of Real ID regulations, offering a modern, secure alternative to outdated ID workflows.
\n
Just as importantly, it signals the growing role of consumer tech giants in shaping the infrastructure of Travel Tech itself. By embedding government-recognized ID functions into its ecosystem, Apple is quietly becoming a central player in how we move through airports – and eventually, across borders.
\n
Last but not least, it offers a glimpse into a paperless, biometric-driven travel future where your phone may serve as your passport, boarding pass, and central travel checkpoint, all in one.
\n
\n
Innovation #2: Apple (and Air Canada) Turn the Boarding Pass into a Travel Command Center
\n
Sticking with Apple for a second travel-relevant innovation. This one also has significant implications for enhancing the passenger experience.
\n
Shortly after announcing its digital passport, Apple unveiled a redesigned boarding pass experience as part of its refreshed Apple Wallet at the annual WWDC developer conference. The update turns the humble boarding pass into a centralized travel hub, offering live flight updates, terminal maps, baggage tracking, and more, all within the iPhone lock screen.
\n
The headline for June?
\n
Air Canada has emerged as one of the first airlines globally (and the very first non-U.S. carrier) to support this new feature, joining a lineup that includes Delta,United, JetBlue, and others. Once again, Air Canada reaffirms its position as an early adopter of passenger-centric digital innovation.
\n
What exactly is new?
\n
With the updated Apple Wallet, your boarding pass becomes much more than a scannable QR code. It now enables:
\n
\n
Live flight updates that appear directly on your lock screen.
\n
One-tap shortcuts to share flight status with friends, open Apple Maps for terminal directions, or access “Find My” to track checked bags.
\n
Integrated terminal maps that visualize gate locations without switching between apps.
\n
\n
The result: no need to recheck airline apps or web portals. All your travel info stays front and center on your screen, turning the iPhone into a personal control tower for your entire air travel journey, from check-in to baggage claim.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
First, it reduces passenger stress by providing real-time updates and direct access to critical journey tools, all inside the native Apple ecosystem. The tighter integration offers a smoother mobile experience than many airline apps have ever managed to deliver, and it comes without the friction of logins, pop-ups, or buried menus.
\n
Second, this raises the bar for what travelers expect from digital touchpoints. Airlines like Air Canada that integrate early not only stand out for user experience, but also for embracing a shift where the travel app is no longer the airline’s, but Apple’s.
\n
Third, this reinforces a broader trend: Big Tech is quietly becoming the backbone of modern travel infrastructure. From baggage tracking via AirTags to digital passports and now intelligent boarding passes, Apple is methodically embedding itself into the operational and emotional layers of the travel journey. While airlines and airports have struggled to develop similarly elegant tools in-house, partnerships with platforms like Apple might prove more effective (and scalable) than attempting to do so independently.
\n
As Apple builds out this digital layer of the passenger experience, the question for airlines isn’t whether to integrate, but how soon.
\n
\n
Innovation #3: Iberia Becomes First Airline to Launch AI Assistant on ChatGPT
\n
Innovation #3 doesn’t come from Apple, but it’s yet another example of an airline looking beyond the travel industry, again to a big tech player, to shape the next evolution of customer experience.
\n
Iberia just became the first airline to launch a dedicated AI assistant directly on OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform, marking a significant shift in how and where airlines can engage with travelers. The assistant lives inside the GPT Store and is designed to help users explore destinations, search for flights with flexible dates, plan multi-city trips, and even optimize based on budget, before handing over the results for booking directly via Iberia’s systems.
\n
So why does this stand out amid the current wave of airline-AI activity we explored in our May and June editions?
\n
It’s the first real example of an airline embedding itself natively into a major consumer AI platform, rather than building its own branded chatbot experience on its website or app, which often serves as just a front-end “wrapper” around the same underlying models, such as ChatGPT.
\n
\n
While most airline AI strategies have focused on building standalone chat interfaces on their own websites or apps, Iberia is betting on the idea that travelers will increasingly start their journey within general-purpose AI assistants like ChatGPT.
\n
And by being present there early, the airline positions itself at the top of that funnel.
\n
In other words, it’s one of the first examples of a travel provider recognizing that travel discovery, planning, and booking (especially among younger and more digitally savvy travelers) may no longer occur on their own channels.
\n
\n
\n
That said, there are still open questions.
\n
Access is currently limited to the GPT Store, which, at least for now, isn’t the first place average airline passengers would think to go when planning a trip.
\n
And that raises a strategic dilemma: Will Iberia actively promote this channel, potentially cannibalizing traffic from its own website?
\n
Or is this more of a test bed for future AI integrations?
\n
Either way, the launch is notable. It signals a world in which AI assistants may soon serve as the new home screen for travel discovery, replacing the search bar and possibly even airline websites as the starting point of the traveler journey.

Big Tech is quietly rewriting the front end of the travel experience.
\n
Historically, airlines and airports have owned the key touchpoints between passengers and their journey, including check-in, boarding passes, flight updates, and baggage tracking. But that control is starting to shift.
\n
\n
In July, some of the most noteworthy innovations in air travel didn’t come from within the industry, but from consumer tech giants.
\n
Big Tech is moving deeper into travel, embedding itself at critical moments in the passenger experience, as you’ll see in this edition.
\n
\n
The implications are profound.
\n
As user attention and expectations are increasingly shaped by these external platforms, airlines may no longer be able to define what a “good” customer experience looks like.
\n
Instead, they’ll be expected to operate within the design logic and interface rules of iPhones, Apple Wallets, and AI assistants.
\n
In this month’s Innovation Radar, we highlight three standout moves that signal this shift.
\n
Together, they paint a clear picture: the future of the travel user experience may be built on someone else’s platform.
\n
Innovation #1: Apple Brings TSA-Approved Digital Passports to the Wallet
\n
After years of discussing “digital identity” in travel, we’re finally seeing a concrete step forward, this time led by one of the world’s most influential tech players. Apple recently announced that U.S. iPhone users will soon be able to add their passports to their Apple Wallets, creating a TSA-approved digital ID usable at domestic airport security checkpoints.
\n
It’s a move many are calling a milestone in modernizing the travel experience.
\n
What exactly is happening?
\n
With the rollout of this feature, travelers can now store and present their passports digitally, much like a boarding pass.
\n
Here is how the process works:
\n
\n
Users upload passport details into their Apple Wallets.
\n
TSA scans and verifies the digital IDs at security checkpoints.
\n
Noneed to carry or hand over a physical document.
\n
\n
This initiative builds on Apple’s earlier support for digital driver’s licenses in select states. But, by enabling digital passports, Apple is now pushing deeper into the heart of the travel identity stack.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Digital identity has long been viewed as a key unlock for seamless travel, but its adoption has not kept pace with the hype, especially given the complex combination of regulatory requirements, safety concerns, and the need for multi-stakeholder cooperation. Apple’s announcement appears to be a breakthrough. Not only does it simplify airport security processes and reduce document-handling friction, but it also aligns with the upcoming enforcement of Real ID regulations, offering a modern, secure alternative to outdated ID workflows.
\n
Just as importantly, it signals the growing role of consumer tech giants in shaping the infrastructure of Travel Tech itself. By embedding government-recognized ID functions into its ecosystem, Apple is quietly becoming a central player in how we move through airports – and eventually, across borders.
\n
Last but not least, it offers a glimpse into a paperless, biometric-driven travel future where your phone may serve as your passport, boarding pass, and central travel checkpoint, all in one.
\n
\n
Innovation #2: Apple (and Air Canada) Turn the Boarding Pass into a Travel Command Center
\n
Sticking with Apple for a second travel-relevant innovation. This one also has significant implications for enhancing the passenger experience.
\n
Shortly after announcing its digital passport, Apple unveiled a redesigned boarding pass experience as part of its refreshed Apple Wallet at the annual WWDC developer conference. The update turns the humble boarding pass into a centralized travel hub, offering live flight updates, terminal maps, baggage tracking, and more, all within the iPhone lock screen.
\n
The headline for June?
\n
Air Canada has emerged as one of the first airlines globally (and the very first non-U.S. carrier) to support this new feature, joining a lineup that includes Delta,United, JetBlue, and others. Once again, Air Canada reaffirms its position as an early adopter of passenger-centric digital innovation.
\n
What exactly is new?
\n
With the updated Apple Wallet, your boarding pass becomes much more than a scannable QR code. It now enables:
\n
\n
Live flight updates that appear directly on your lock screen.
\n
One-tap shortcuts to share flight status with friends, open Apple Maps for terminal directions, or access “Find My” to track checked bags.
\n
Integrated terminal maps that visualize gate locations without switching between apps.
\n
\n
The result: no need to recheck airline apps or web portals. All your travel info stays front and center on your screen, turning the iPhone into a personal control tower for your entire air travel journey, from check-in to baggage claim.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
First, it reduces passenger stress by providing real-time updates and direct access to critical journey tools, all inside the native Apple ecosystem. The tighter integration offers a smoother mobile experience than many airline apps have ever managed to deliver, and it comes without the friction of logins, pop-ups, or buried menus.
\n
Second, this raises the bar for what travelers expect from digital touchpoints. Airlines like Air Canada that integrate early not only stand out for user experience, but also for embracing a shift where the travel app is no longer the airline’s, but Apple’s.
\n
Third, this reinforces a broader trend: Big Tech is quietly becoming the backbone of modern travel infrastructure. From baggage tracking via AirTags to digital passports and now intelligent boarding passes, Apple is methodically embedding itself into the operational and emotional layers of the travel journey. While airlines and airports have struggled to develop similarly elegant tools in-house, partnerships with platforms like Apple might prove more effective (and scalable) than attempting to do so independently.
\n
As Apple builds out this digital layer of the passenger experience, the question for airlines isn’t whether to integrate, but how soon.
\n
\n
Innovation #3: Iberia Becomes First Airline to Launch AI Assistant on ChatGPT
\n
Innovation #3 doesn’t come from Apple, but it’s yet another example of an airline looking beyond the travel industry, again to a big tech player, to shape the next evolution of customer experience.
\n
Iberia just became the first airline to launch a dedicated AI assistant directly on OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform, marking a significant shift in how and where airlines can engage with travelers. The assistant lives inside the GPT Store and is designed to help users explore destinations, search for flights with flexible dates, plan multi-city trips, and even optimize based on budget, before handing over the results for booking directly via Iberia’s systems.
\n
So why does this stand out amid the current wave of airline-AI activity we explored in our May and June editions?
\n
It’s the first real example of an airline embedding itself natively into a major consumer AI platform, rather than building its own branded chatbot experience on its website or app, which often serves as just a front-end “wrapper” around the same underlying models, such as ChatGPT.
\n
\n
While most airline AI strategies have focused on building standalone chat interfaces on their own websites or apps, Iberia is betting on the idea that travelers will increasingly start their journey within general-purpose AI assistants like ChatGPT.
\n
And by being present there early, the airline positions itself at the top of that funnel.
\n
In other words, it’s one of the first examples of a travel provider recognizing that travel discovery, planning, and booking (especially among younger and more digitally savvy travelers) may no longer occur on their own channels.
\n
\n
\n
That said, there are still open questions.
\n
Access is currently limited to the GPT Store, which, at least for now, isn’t the first place average airline passengers would think to go when planning a trip.
\n
And that raises a strategic dilemma: Will Iberia actively promote this channel, potentially cannibalizing traffic from its own website?
\n
Or is this more of a test bed for future AI integrations?
\n
Either way, the launch is notable. It signals a world in which AI assistants may soon serve as the new home screen for travel discovery, replacing the search bar and possibly even airline websites as the starting point of the traveler journey.

Digital identity has long been viewed as a key unlock for seamless travel, but its adoption has not kept pace with the hype, especially given the complex combination of regulatory requirements, safety concerns, and the need for multi-stakeholder cooperation. Apple’s announcement appears to be a breakthrough. Not only does it simplify airport security processes and reduce document-handling friction, but it also aligns with the upcoming enforcement of Real ID regulations, offering a modern, secure alternative to outdated ID workflows.
\n
Just as importantly, it signals the growing role of consumer tech giants in shaping the infrastructure of Travel Tech itself. By embedding government-recognized ID functions into its ecosystem, Apple is quietly becoming a central player in how we move through airports – and eventually, across borders.
\n
Last but not least, it offers a glimpse into a paperless, biometric-driven travel future where your phone may serve as your passport, boarding pass, and central travel checkpoint, all in one.
\n
\n
Innovation #2: Apple (and Air Canada) Turn the Boarding Pass into a Travel Command Center
\n
Sticking with Apple for a second travel-relevant innovation. This one also has significant implications for enhancing the passenger experience.
\n
Shortly after announcing its digital passport, Apple unveiled a redesigned boarding pass experience as part of its refreshed Apple Wallet at the annual WWDC developer conference. The update turns the humble boarding pass into a centralized travel hub, offering live flight updates, terminal maps, baggage tracking, and more, all within the iPhone lock screen.
\n
The headline for June?
\n
Air Canada has emerged as one of the first airlines globally (and the very first non-U.S. carrier) to support this new feature, joining a lineup that includes Delta,United, JetBlue, and others. Once again, Air Canada reaffirms its position as an early adopter of passenger-centric digital innovation.
\n
What exactly is new?
\n
With the updated Apple Wallet, your boarding pass becomes much more than a scannable QR code. It now enables:
\n
\n
Live flight updates that appear directly on your lock screen.
\n
One-tap shortcuts to share flight status with friends, open Apple Maps for terminal directions, or access “Find My” to track checked bags.
\n
Integrated terminal maps that visualize gate locations without switching between apps.
\n
\n
The result: no need to recheck airline apps or web portals. All your travel info stays front and center on your screen, turning the iPhone into a personal control tower for your entire air travel journey, from check-in to baggage claim.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
First, it reduces passenger stress by providing real-time updates and direct access to critical journey tools, all inside the native Apple ecosystem. The tighter integration offers a smoother mobile experience than many airline apps have ever managed to deliver, and it comes without the friction of logins, pop-ups, or buried menus.
\n
Second, this raises the bar for what travelers expect from digital touchpoints. Airlines like Air Canada that integrate early not only stand out for user experience, but also for embracing a shift where the travel app is no longer the airline’s, but Apple’s.
\n
Third, this reinforces a broader trend: Big Tech is quietly becoming the backbone of modern travel infrastructure. From baggage tracking via AirTags to digital passports and now intelligent boarding passes, Apple is methodically embedding itself into the operational and emotional layers of the travel journey. While airlines and airports have struggled to develop similarly elegant tools in-house, partnerships with platforms like Apple might prove more effective (and scalable) than attempting to do so independently.
\n
As Apple builds out this digital layer of the passenger experience, the question for airlines isn’t whether to integrate, but how soon.
\n
\n
Innovation #3: Iberia Becomes First Airline to Launch AI Assistant on ChatGPT
\n
Innovation #3 doesn’t come from Apple, but it’s yet another example of an airline looking beyond the travel industry, again to a big tech player, to shape the next evolution of customer experience.
\n
Iberia just became the first airline to launch a dedicated AI assistant directly on OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform, marking a significant shift in how and where airlines can engage with travelers. The assistant lives inside the GPT Store and is designed to help users explore destinations, search for flights with flexible dates, plan multi-city trips, and even optimize based on budget, before handing over the results for booking directly via Iberia’s systems.
\n
So why does this stand out amid the current wave of airline-AI activity we explored in our May and June editions?
\n
It’s the first real example of an airline embedding itself natively into a major consumer AI platform, rather than building its own branded chatbot experience on its website or app, which often serves as just a front-end “wrapper” around the same underlying models, such as ChatGPT.
\n
\n
While most airline AI strategies have focused on building standalone chat interfaces on their own websites or apps, Iberia is betting on the idea that travelers will increasingly start their journey within general-purpose AI assistants like ChatGPT.
\n
And by being present there early, the airline positions itself at the top of that funnel.
\n
In other words, it’s one of the first examples of a travel provider recognizing that travel discovery, planning, and booking (especially among younger and more digitally savvy travelers) may no longer occur on their own channels.
\n
\n
\n
That said, there are still open questions.
\n
Access is currently limited to the GPT Store, which, at least for now, isn’t the first place average airline passengers would think to go when planning a trip.
\n
And that raises a strategic dilemma: Will Iberia actively promote this channel, potentially cannibalizing traffic from its own website?
\n
Or is this more of a test bed for future AI integrations?
\n
Either way, the launch is notable. It signals a world in which AI assistants may soon serve as the new home screen for travel discovery, replacing the search bar and possibly even airline websites as the starting point of the traveler journey.

","rssSummary":"
Big Tech is quietly rewriting the front end of the travel experience.
\n
Historically, airlines and airports have owned the key touchpoints between passengers and their journey, including check-in, boarding passes, flight updates, and baggage tracking. But that control is starting to shift.
\n
\n
In July, some of the most noteworthy innovations in air travel didn’t come from within the industry, but from consumer tech giants.
\n
Big Tech is moving deeper into travel, embedding itself at critical moments in the passenger experience, as you’ll see in this edition.

The next decade promises some significant and exciting developments in airport infrastructure. Plans are underway at various locations around the world to expand passenger facilities, enabling some of the world’s largest airports to handle over 100 million passengers annually.
\n
In the first part of this blog series, we are going to focus on key airport developments taking place in the Middle East.
\n
\n
Gearing up for Growth
\n
For context, let's begin by taking a look at the Top 10 Busiest Global Airports of 2024 ranked by total airline seats - this is the number of seats filled by airlines operating from those airports, not the actual passengers handled at the airport (we’ll get to that later). This illustrates just how ‘busy’ the airports are in terms of flights operating through the airport.
\n
\n
Now, let’s look at passenger volume data - the number of passengers an airport actually handles. There is only one airport in the world in the exclusive 100 Million Passengers Club and that is Atlanta (ATL) in the US, handling just over 108 million passengers in 2024. Others are getting closer though, with Dubai - the 2nd Busiest Global Airport and Busiest International Airport of 2024 - handling 92.3 million passengers in 2024. This represents a 6.1% increase compared to the previous year, which is almost double the growth experienced by ATL (3.3% YoY). This indicates that if Dubai continues on this trajectory it will soon catch up with Atlanta by the end of the decade.
In anticipation of continued growth and capitalising on its position as an ideal location for both passengers who want to travel through Dubai en route from east to west or vice versa, and those passengers who want to visit Dubai as a destination, Dubai has embarked on a significant investment in the expansion of Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai’s current secondary airport.
\n
The vision is that at some point, likely ten years from now, DWC will become Dubai’s primary airport, with traffic switching from DXB. The upgraded and expanded DWC will ultimately provide capacity for up to 260 million passengers, with five runways, although it will be developed in a modular way as growth dictates.
\n
Istanbul (IST)
\n
The region already boasts one of the biggest airports in the world, located in Istanbul (IST). The new airport opened in 2018 with passenger capacity of 90 million in the first phase, and by the end of this year, it is expected to reach 120 million. By 2028, total capacity of 200 million passengers is planned.
\n
Passenger volumes at IST reached 80 million in 2024, which was an increase of some 5.2% on the previous year, so it will not need all of its new capacity just yet - although it has ambitious targets to reach 100 million passengers by 2027. However, with an ambitious growth plan, and a base carrier offering more destinations than other Middle Eastern hubs, the airport is well placed to reach 100 million passengers in the short to medium term.
\n
\n
King Salman International Airport
\n
Hot on the heels of Dubai and Istanbul is Riyadh, where the new King Salman International Airport is under construction, aiming to become one of the world’s largest airports, with the initial phase catering to 120 million passengers by 2030, and ultimately 185 million passengers by 2050. Whilst the current Riyadh Airport - King Khalid International (RUH) - handled 38 million passengers in 2024, the new enlarged Riyadh airport is a key enabler of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation programme which aims to reach 330 million visitors by 2030.
\n
\n
\n\n
The cumulative passenger capacity for just these three ambitious hubs is an eye-watering 645 million by the end of their current timelines, some three times more than the current passenger volumes they handle. That’s before we consider Doha, Qatar’s fast-growing hub, with capacity for over 65 million passengers a year and the newly extended Zayed International Airport, in Abu Dhabi, which will cater for up to 45 million passengers. The combined total envisages a market across the biggest hubs of the Middle East of over three quarters of a billion passengers – an impressive more than doubling in size of the passenger volumes handled today at these airports.
\n
In part two, we look east to explore how Asia’s biggest hubs plan to expand in line with growth projections.
\n\n
What is ‘passenger capacity’ and ‘passenger volume’ at airports?
\n
\n
Passenger capacity is the number of passengers an airport can handle.
\n
Passenger volume is the number of passengers an airport actually handles.

The next decade promises some significant and exciting developments in airport infrastructure. Plans are underway at various locations around the world to expand passenger facilities, enabling some of the world’s largest airports to handle over 100 million passengers annually.
\n
In the first part of this blog series, we are going to focus on key airport developments taking place in the Middle East.
\n
\n
Gearing up for Growth
\n
For context, let's begin by taking a look at the Top 10 Busiest Global Airports of 2024 ranked by total airline seats - this is the number of seats filled by airlines operating from those airports, not the actual passengers handled at the airport (we’ll get to that later). This illustrates just how ‘busy’ the airports are in terms of flights operating through the airport.
\n
\n
Now, let’s look at passenger volume data - the number of passengers an airport actually handles. There is only one airport in the world in the exclusive 100 Million Passengers Club and that is Atlanta (ATL) in the US, handling just over 108 million passengers in 2024. Others are getting closer though, with Dubai - the 2nd Busiest Global Airport and Busiest International Airport of 2024 - handling 92.3 million passengers in 2024. This represents a 6.1% increase compared to the previous year, which is almost double the growth experienced by ATL (3.3% YoY). This indicates that if Dubai continues on this trajectory it will soon catch up with Atlanta by the end of the decade.
In anticipation of continued growth and capitalising on its position as an ideal location for both passengers who want to travel through Dubai en route from east to west or vice versa, and those passengers who want to visit Dubai as a destination, Dubai has embarked on a significant investment in the expansion of Dubai World Central (DWC), Dubai’s current secondary airport.
\n
The vision is that at some point, likely ten years from now, DWC will become Dubai’s primary airport, with traffic switching from DXB. The upgraded and expanded DWC will ultimately provide capacity for up to 260 million passengers, with five runways, although it will be developed in a modular way as growth dictates.
\n
Istanbul (IST)
\n
The region already boasts one of the biggest airports in the world, located in Istanbul (IST). The new airport opened in 2018 with passenger capacity of 90 million in the first phase, and by the end of this year, it is expected to reach 120 million. By 2028, total capacity of 200 million passengers is planned.
\n
Passenger volumes at IST reached 80 million in 2024, which was an increase of some 5.2% on the previous year, so it will not need all of its new capacity just yet - although it has ambitious targets to reach 100 million passengers by 2027. However, with an ambitious growth plan, and a base carrier offering more destinations than other Middle Eastern hubs, the airport is well placed to reach 100 million passengers in the short to medium term.
\n
\n
King Salman International Airport
\n
Hot on the heels of Dubai and Istanbul is Riyadh, where the new King Salman International Airport is under construction, aiming to become one of the world’s largest airports, with the initial phase catering to 120 million passengers by 2030, and ultimately 185 million passengers by 2050. Whilst the current Riyadh Airport - King Khalid International (RUH) - handled 38 million passengers in 2024, the new enlarged Riyadh airport is a key enabler of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation programme which aims to reach 330 million visitors by 2030.
\n
\n
\n\n
The cumulative passenger capacity for just these three ambitious hubs is an eye-watering 645 million by the end of their current timelines, some three times more than the current passenger volumes they handle. That’s before we consider Doha, Qatar’s fast-growing hub, with capacity for over 65 million passengers a year and the newly extended Zayed International Airport, in Abu Dhabi, which will cater for up to 45 million passengers. The combined total envisages a market across the biggest hubs of the Middle East of over three quarters of a billion passengers – an impressive more than doubling in size of the passenger volumes handled today at these airports.
\n
In part two, we look east to explore how Asia’s biggest hubs plan to expand in line with growth projections.
\n\n
What is ‘passenger capacity’ and ‘passenger volume’ at airports?
\n
\n
Passenger capacity is the number of passengers an airport can handle.
\n
Passenger volume is the number of passengers an airport actually handles.

\n
Alaska Airlines is the largest carrier serving the Alaska, but its top state is Washington, where the airline is based (in Seattle) and where it has 17.6M seats scheduled in 2025.

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Oliver Martin (Senior Director, Skift Inc) and Jacob Pewitt Yancey (Head of Analytics, Arrivalist) to dive into the latest global tourism trends.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Are tourism patterns changing? Where is everyone going this year?
\n
What impact, if any, might tariffs be having on tourism?
\n
With a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets being announced this year, where will we all be going in the next 5 years?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
The panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.2% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (Jan - June 25), capacity is 3.2% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
Spain-UK is the top country pair in terms of summer capacity.
\n
\n
\n
Tariff impacts
\n
Next, the panel discussed one of the key topics of this month's webinar - tariffs - and began by examining the latest US visitor statistics, which had been published at the end of the previous week. (Preliminary, so subject to change).
\n
\n
The results show a fall in arrivals from the Top 20 countries, with big reductions from Germany, France, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Ecuador.
\n
This time last year (May 2024), year-on-year growth for the top 20 visitor markets was +12.4%, with strong growth from all of the above countries.
\n
Year-to-date position shows that 11 of the Top 20 markets are flat or contracting.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Oliver gave his thoughts on how much impact tariffs and evolving tariff policies will have on consumers' travel decisions:
\n
\n
Geopolitics and aviation
\n
In the last two months alone the industry has been impacted by a number of geopolitical events, including the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran which resulted in the closure of airspace in a number of neighbouring countries.
\n
Whilst the industry navigates unpredictable events such as short-notice airspace closures, and makes decisions about whether to fly to areas where conflict may escalate, what is the lasting impact on consumer sentiment and decisions to fly?
\n
\n
TOURISM TARGETS
\n
With 5 years to go until the end of the decade, a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets have been announced this year. The panel gave their thoughts:
\n
\n
What next?
\n
Having just spent 7 years leading the research team at Visit Florida, Jacob gave an insightful round-up to summarise the panel discussion:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Oliver Martin (Senior Director, Skift Inc) and Jacob Pewitt Yancey (Head of Analytics, Arrivalist) to dive into the latest global tourism trends.

\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Are tourism patterns changing? Where is everyone going this year?
\n
What impact, if any, might tariffs be having on tourism?
\n
With a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets being announced this year, where will we all be going in the next 5 years?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
The panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.2% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (Jan - June 25), capacity is 3.2% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
Spain-UK is the top country pair in terms of summer capacity.
\n
\n
\n
Tariff impacts
\n
Next, the panel discussed one of the key topics of this month's webinar - tariffs - and began by examining the latest US visitor statistics, which had been published at the end of the previous week. (Preliminary, so subject to change).
\n
\n
The results show a fall in arrivals from the Top 20 countries, with big reductions from Germany, France, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Ecuador.
\n
This time last year (May 2024), year-on-year growth for the top 20 visitor markets was +12.4%, with strong growth from all of the above countries.
\n
Year-to-date position shows that 11 of the Top 20 markets are flat or contracting.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Oliver gave his thoughts on how much impact tariffs and evolving tariff policies will have on consumers' travel decisions:
\n
\n
Geopolitics and aviation
\n
In the last two months alone the industry has been impacted by a number of geopolitical events, including the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran which resulted in the closure of airspace in a number of neighbouring countries.
\n
Whilst the industry navigates unpredictable events such as short-notice airspace closures, and makes decisions about whether to fly to areas where conflict may escalate, what is the lasting impact on consumer sentiment and decisions to fly?
\n
\n
TOURISM TARGETS
\n
With 5 years to go until the end of the decade, a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets have been announced this year. The panel gave their thoughts:
\n
\n
What next?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Siddharth Narkhede, Head of Airline Analysis at Ishka, to investigate the current operating environment for airlines.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
With some recent big orders, how are airline fleets evolving? Who is leading in terms of growth, and where?
\n
How will future orders shape global fleets going forward?
\n
Can airlines accurately forecast demand in the current era of tariffs and geopolitical turmoil?
\n
Is lack of investment in infrastructure holding airlines back?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
As usual, the panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends before moving on to this month's subject matter:
\n
\n
The data shows capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (January - May 2025), capacity is 3.3% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
\n
\n
It's a narrowbody world
\n
Next, the panel examined the current composition of capacity from an aircraft group type perspective, grouping current operations into five categories.
\n
\n
Looking at a snapshot of how it breaks down in percentage terms, narrowbodies were almost 70% in 2015, they're now 76% of the market. So while some of the big orders recently have been for widebodies, it's a narrowbody world in terms of how people are travelling.
\n
\n
\n
How will today's orders shape tomorrow's fleets?
\n
Next, the panel looked forward to analyse what is on order as of now, across the same fleet categories:
\n
\n
Asia has the largest fleet currently, accounting for a third of all aircraft. It also has the youngest fleet, with an average aircraft age of 12 years, meaning that more of the aircraft on order will facilitate growth rather than fleet replacement.
\n
For North America and Oceania, many more of the aircraft on order will be for replacement.
\n
\n
\n
Infrastructure bottlenecks
\n
Next, the panel discussed some of the key infrastructure investment challenges emerging, citing ATC as a key example:

Next, the panel examined the current composition of capacity from an aircraft group type perspective, grouping current operations into five categories.
\n
\n
Looking at a snapshot of how it breaks down in percentage terms, narrowbodies were almost 70% in 2015, they're now 76% of the market. So while some of the big orders recently have been for widebodies, it's a narrowbody world in terms of how people are travelling.
\n
\n
\n
How will today's orders shape tomorrow's fleets?
\n
Next, the panel looked forward to analyse what is on order as of now, across the same fleet categories:
\n
\n
Asia has the largest fleet currently, accounting for a third of all aircraft. It also has the youngest fleet, with an average aircraft age of 12 years, meaning that more of the aircraft on order will facilitate growth rather than fleet replacement.
\n
For North America and Oceania, many more of the aircraft on order will be for replacement.
\n
\n
\n
Infrastructure bottlenecks
\n
Next, the panel discussed some of the key infrastructure investment challenges emerging, citing ATC as a key example:
For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Siddharth Narkhede, Head of Airline Analysis at Ishka, to investigate the current operating environment for airlines.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
With some recent big orders, how are airline fleets evolving? Who is leading in terms of growth, and where?
\n
How will future orders shape global fleets going forward?
\n
Can airlines accurately forecast demand in the current era of tariffs and geopolitical turmoil?
\n
Is lack of investment in infrastructure holding airlines back?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
As usual, the panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends before moving on to this month's subject matter:
\n
\n
The data shows capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (January - May 2025), capacity is 3.3% ahead of the same months in 2024.

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Ogaga Udjo, MD of ZA Logics, to take a deep dive into Africa's aviation landscape.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Growth trends - what are the fastest growing markets on the continent?
\n
Airline business models - do those that work elsewhere work for Africa?
\n
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead?
\n
\n
A Look at Growth Trends
\n
First, the panel discussed global growth trends and Africa's capacity and frequency changes:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.3% ahead of 2024
\n
In Africa domestic growth has contracted but international capacity is up by 3.5%
\n
Looking at total capacity growth in Africa by subregion highlights that growth is happening across the continent with the exception of Central/Western Africa. Southern Africa sees the highest growth rate, with an increase in capacity this summer of 9.6% on last summer
\n
Frequency growth follows a similar trend
\n
\n
Ogaga gave his insights on the global outlook:
\n
\n
exploring the Carrier Landscape
\n
Next, the panel discussed the African carrier landscape. There were some interesting points to explore:
\n
\n
In the last 10 years, Ethiopian has moved up to become Africa’s largest carrier, with 17% of African capacity
\n
SAA, once the largest carrier, is now 11th largest in the continent
\n
8 of the Top 20 largest carriers operating in Africa are domiciled outside of the continent
\n
In April 2015 there were 88 African domiciled carriers and today there are 109, but there are 37 carriers in April 2015 which don’t exist today
\n
\n
\n
Which business model dominates in the continent?
\n
Next, the panel discussed business models:
\n
\n
Africa lags behind the global norm for legacy/LCC capacity shares, where 35% of seats operate on low cost carriers (LCCs). Some regions are considerably higher than that, notably Europe, where 44% of seats operate on LCCs, and Latin America where the comparable share is 40%
\n
The region seeing the fastest degree of LCC penetration is the Middle East where in the last 10 years, LCC shares have grown from 15% to 29%. Africa’s LCC share remains stuck at 16% of all operations, an increase from 9% in 2015. This is largely driven by the growth of European –North Africa services into Morocco
\n
\n
Will LCCs ever take off in Africa? Or is a different model needed for success?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Ogaga Udjo, MD of ZA Logics, to take a deep dive into Africa's aviation landscape.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Growth trends - what are the fastest growing markets on the continent?
\n
Airline business models - do those that work elsewhere work for Africa?
\n
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead?
\n
\n
A Look at Growth Trends
\n
First, the panel discussed global growth trends and Africa's capacity and frequency changes:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.3% ahead of 2024
\n
In Africa domestic growth has contracted but international capacity is up by 3.5%
\n
Looking at total capacity growth in Africa by subregion highlights that growth is happening across the continent with the exception of Central/Western Africa. Southern Africa sees the highest growth rate, with an increase in capacity this summer of 9.6% on last summer
\n
Frequency growth follows a similar trend
\n
\n
Ogaga gave his insights on the global outlook:
\n
\n
exploring the Carrier Landscape
\n
Next, the panel discussed the African carrier landscape. There were some interesting points to explore:
\n
\n
In the last 10 years, Ethiopian has moved up to become Africa’s largest carrier, with 17% of African capacity
\n
SAA, once the largest carrier, is now 11th largest in the continent
\n
8 of the Top 20 largest carriers operating in Africa are domiciled outside of the continent
\n
In April 2015 there were 88 African domiciled carriers and today there are 109, but there are 37 carriers in April 2015 which don’t exist today
\n
\n
\n
Which business model dominates in the continent?
\n
Next, the panel discussed business models:
\n
\n
Africa lags behind the global norm for legacy/LCC capacity shares, where 35% of seats operate on low cost carriers (LCCs). Some regions are considerably higher than that, notably Europe, where 44% of seats operate on LCCs, and Latin America where the comparable share is 40%
\n
The region seeing the fastest degree of LCC penetration is the Middle East where in the last 10 years, LCC shares have grown from 15% to 29%. Africa’s LCC share remains stuck at 16% of all operations, an increase from 9% in 2015. This is largely driven by the growth of European –North Africa services into Morocco
\n
\n
Will LCCs ever take off in Africa? Or is a different model needed for success?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Brett Snyder, President of Cranky Flier, to explore Summer 2025 capacity and frequency trends in the US market. The live panel discussed:
\n\n
\n
Capacity trends - is a domestic slowdown coming?
\n
Key international destinations - where is growth expected?
\n
Airline strategies and fleet decisions - how are they impacting growth plans?
\n
\n
WHAT'S THE SUMMER FORECAST FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY?
\n
The panel began by exploring global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 2.3% ahead of 2024
\n
For the year to date so far (January to March 2025), capacity is 2.7% ahead of the same months in 2024
\n
Summer capacity is expected to grow fastest in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions, with increases of 4.6% and 4.3% respectively on Summer 2024
\n
\n
While discussing the data for the summer season, the panel stressed how this is a constantly evolving time for the industry, and that it's going to ultimately be tricky to predict how the market will behave over the coming months, weeks, and even days:
\n
\n
Despite the uncertainty, at this point in the discussion, John asked, \"Brett, you're very in tune with the market. If you had to give a synopsis of what's happening in the first three months of this year and how the next three months look, what would your perspective be of the current state of the aviation industry?\" (A tricky question to ask when, as Brett puts it, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow!)
\n
\n
US Domestic and International Capacity
\n
The panel then dived into the data for US domestic and international capacity:

\n
Some of the fastest growing cities this summer for domestic capacity are in Florida - Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Tampa. There is also strong capacity growth in California, San Francisco and Sacramento
\n
In terms of international capacity, Europe remains the most important market, with the UK the largest
\n
Strongest growth is coming from Italy, Ireland, Turkiye, Greece and Finland - all of which have seen double digit capacity growth this summer

\n
Is Domestic Demand Softening?
\n
As the panel discussed the GDP forecast, the conversation turned to factors that may impact demand in the domestic market, including political and economic factors. To what extent will the cost of living and uncertainty in the US political system impact consumer confidence?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Brett Snyder, President of Cranky Flier, to explore Summer 2025 capacity and frequency trends in the US market. The live panel discussed:
\n\n
\n
Capacity trends - is a domestic slowdown coming?
\n
Key international destinations - where is growth expected?
\n
Airline strategies and fleet decisions - how are they impacting growth plans?
\n
\n
WHAT'S THE SUMMER FORECAST FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY?
\n
The panel began by exploring global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 2.3% ahead of 2024
\n
For the year to date so far (January to March 2025), capacity is 2.7% ahead of the same months in 2024
\n
Summer capacity is expected to grow fastest in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions, with increases of 4.6% and 4.3% respectively on Summer 2024
\n
\n
While discussing the data for the summer season, the panel stressed how this is a constantly evolving time for the industry, and that it's going to ultimately be tricky to predict how the market will behave over the coming months, weeks, and even days:
\n
\n
Despite the uncertainty, at this point in the discussion, John asked, \"Brett, you're very in tune with the market. If you had to give a synopsis of what's happening in the first three months of this year and how the next three months look, what would your perspective be of the current state of the aviation industry?\" (A tricky question to ask when, as Brett puts it, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow!)
\n
\n
US Domestic and International Capacity
\n
The panel then dived into the data for US domestic and international capacity:
\n
\n
Some of the fastest growing cities this summer for domestic capacity are in Florida - Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Tampa. There is also strong capacity growth in California, San Francisco and Sacramento
\n
In terms of international capacity, Europe remains the most important market, with the UK the largest

Another year, another look at on-time performance for the world's airlines and airports and 2019's edition makes for some very interesting analysis, especially as sitting on top of this year's league is a brand new winner in airline punctuality.
\n
Dethroning 3-time winner airBaltic was no easy task, but in 2018, Copa Airlines topped the ranking as the most punctual airline in the world with OTP of 89.79%, becoming the first-ever Latin American winner of the League.
\n
In fact, it's been a brilliant year for South America as LATAM Airlines Group came first in our Mega Airlines category with on-time performance of 85.60%, climbing a remarkable seven places and knocking Japan Airlines off top-spot. The success follows in our Medium Airports category as Panama City climbs from 3rd to 1st.
\n
We also welcome five new entrants in the Small Airports category, with Minsk going on to claim first place, but it is Japan which continues its excellent standards by winning the Large Airport and Mega Airport categories with Osaka and Tokyo Haneda respectively holding onto the top spots.
\n
With so many airlines and airports anticipating this report, it's no wonder the Punctuality League is being recognised as the world's definitive measurement of on-time performance. There's plenty of hot topics and discussions set to arise from these results, so make sure you're part of the action and download your very own copy using the form at the top of this page.

Another year, another look at on-time performance for the world's airlines and airports and 2019's edition makes for some very interesting analysis, especially as sitting on top of this year's league is a brand new winner in airline punctuality.
\n
Dethroning 3-time winner airBaltic was no easy task, but in 2018, Copa Airlines topped the ranking as the most punctual airline in the world with OTP of 89.79%, becoming the first-ever Latin American winner of the League.
\n
In fact, it's been a brilliant year for South America as LATAM Airlines Group came first in our Mega Airlines category with on-time performance of 85.60%, climbing a remarkable seven places and knocking Japan Airlines off top-spot. The success follows in our Medium Airports category as Panama City climbs from 3rd to 1st.
\n
We also welcome five new entrants in the Small Airports category, with Minsk going on to claim first place, but it is Japan which continues its excellent standards by winning the Large Airport and Mega Airport categories with Osaka and Tokyo Haneda respectively holding onto the top spots.
\n
With so many airlines and airports anticipating this report, it's no wonder the Punctuality League is being recognised as the world's definitive measurement of on-time performance. There's plenty of hot topics and discussions set to arise from these results, so make sure you're part of the action and download your very own copy using the form at the top of this page.
