GMR Airports handles record 1 crore passengers nationwide in May despite Delhi disruptions

GMR Airports Limited on Tuesday (June 17) said it has handled over one crore passengers across its airport network in May 2025, marking a modest year-on-year (YoY) growth of 0.8%.

The increase was driven by a 2.9% rise in international passenger traffic, while domestic traffic edged up just 0.1% amid operational disruptions. Total aircraft movements (ATMs) for the month stood at 64,931, up 6.3% YoY.

Despite temporary setbacks, including restricted flight operations at Delhi airport between May 6-20 due to heightened security measures and altered airspace conditions linked to a major geopolitical event, Delhi airport still recorded its highest YTD (year-to-date) passenger and ATM numbers in FY26. Passenger traffic at Delhi touched 12.9 million, up 0.8% YoY, and ATMs rose 3.5% YoY to 0.77 lakh.
