According to ICRA, air traffic is projected to rise 8–11% year-on-year, reaching 407–418 million passengers in FY2025. Domestic passenger traffic in January 2025 alone grew 14.5% YoY, surpassing pre-COVID levels by nearly 18%.
With India set to emerge as one of the world’s top aviation markets by 2052, IPTS 2025 comes at a pivotal moment for stakeholders to align on smarter, scalable, and tech-driven airport infrastructure.
Taher Patrawala, Managing Director of Media Fusion LLC (organiser of the event), emphasised the significance of the event: "The inaugural edition of Inter Passenger Terminal Show 2025 will be a game-changer in shaping the future of airport innovation in India.

“India’s aviation sector has witnessed a phenomenal growth of over 40% in the last ten years, a testament to the transformative vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. The UDAN Scheme has revolutionized regional connectivity—awarding more than 1,300 routes and operationalizing 517—connecting even the remotest corners of the country through common skies. Due to the visionary leadership of Hon. Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra stands as an example for promoting the best of aviation infrastructure for the growth of aviation industry, proudly hosting the biggest FTO in the country operated by Air India in Amravati. This surge in connectivity is instrumental in empowering communities, boosting tourism, and driving inclusive economic growth. As we continue to build a future-ready aviation ecosystem, we are proud to support platforms like IPTS 2025 that bring together thought leaders and innovators to share insights and shape the next chapter of India’s aviation story.” said Smt. Swati Pandey, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Maharashtra Airport Development Company Ltd.
The revamped UDAN scheme is set to enhance air travel access in underserved regions, further fuelling growth. Under the new version of the scheme, 120 new destinations will be added, connecting 4 crore passengers over the next 10 years. India’s air passenger traffic rose 11% Y-O-Y to 1.46crore in January, highlighting the urgent need for advanced airport infrastructure and efficient passenger management solutions.
