Looks like both BOM and DEL will fly past the 40 million pax mark for calendar year 2015, with DEL likely to hit 45 million pax.

For the first six calendar months of 2015, BOM registered an average of 17.8% (7.7% international pax and 22.7% domestic pax) growth over the same period for 2014. DEL recorded 13.2% (4.4% international and 17.7% domestic).

For the July 2014-June 2015 12 month period, BOM is showing over 38 million, and DEL over 42.3 millon.

If this level of growth continues over the next 6 months, BOM is likely to see about 41.2 million pax and DEL 45 million for the 2015 calendar year.

T2 has certainly helped BOM's growth, as have the new taxiways.

At some point, however, airlines will have to upgauge their capacity (A321s instead of A320/19s, for instance), and maybe 9W will have to send widebodies to the likes of AUH and DXB instead of 738s.

London Gatwick, for example, handles about the same # pax as BOM right now, with about 10% fewer landings and takeoffs, plus night curfews in place. BOM doesn't have the curfew problem, so there's still room to grow in terms of frequencies, assuming they can manage aircraft movements as efficiently as Gatwick.

Thats some nifty figures there,
i could have sworn this morning only either Rishul or Abhijeeth mentioned BOM vs DEL at 25 million and 55 million passengers respectively when we were discussing the possibility of DELTAs come back to India on the Watsapp group

@iah87

That does not make much sense , it essentially leaves the International Carriers with just O&D traffic , and why would anyone Originating out of Mumbai wanna drive all the way down to Navi Mumbai to catch a flight when all they have a competitive connection within the city itself

Unless they serve Pune as well it doesnt make much sense

I think moving FSC's to the new airport, away from city, defies logic as it was it would hurt their business probably when they depend on business travellers. This is like making LCC's use Heathrow or London City airport in London and asking FSC's to use the further away airports on the outskirts. So doesn't make sense. Hope they have logic behind whatever they are planning for the two airports.

And to say government decides who operates from where and blah blah, govt might might be headless but airline boss' aren't.

I think airports in the country, which already operate like real estate markets, should make it more expensive to operate within the city & cheaper on the outskirts i.e for cities having or going to have multiple airports.
