New Delhi, India
• 16 – 18 March 2027
Why New Delhi?
The 23rd Routes Asia will take place in New Delhi, India.
A capital city shaped by millennia of history and driven by a bold vision for the future, New Delhi is a destination where heritage, culture and connectivity converge. From UNESCO World Heritage Sites and vibrant neighbourhoods to world‑class hotels, dining and business infrastructure, the city offers delegates an experience that is both inspiring and unmistakably global.
Driven by record-breaking aircraft orders and major infrastructure investment, India’s aviation market is expanding at an unprecedented pace. Rising demand from a growing middle class is reshaping both domestic and international travel, driving a shift in market dynamics. Supported by strategic investment, progressive policies and a robust regulatory framework, India is on track to become one of the world’s largest aviation markets.
Currently served by more than 60 international and domestic carriers, India has established itself as a major aviation hub in South Asia. A World Travel and Tourism Council study found the country welcomed 20 million international visitors in 2024—2.3 million more than in 2019—reaffirming its position as a leading global tourism destination. India has witnessed a twofold increase in operational airports over the past decade, growing from 74 in 2014 to more than 160 to date. The government is planning to build 350 airports by 2047, of which 34 will function as mega airports.
