the capacity to handle 2.5 million tons of cargo. The US$3.8 billion Noida

International Airport is set to open by September 2025.

Maldives is working to develop airports in its six islands as its new government
works on a policy to have an airport within 30 minutes of every residential

island. Its capital city, Male, will have a new terminal by 2025. China aims to

construct 216 new airports by 2035 to meet the growing demands for air travel.

A report by Statista said Asia-Pacific had been the region with the highest

number of airport infrastructure projects under construction, with over half of

the new airport construction taking place in this region. It also had the lead for

construction projects in existing airports. When considering the value of airport
construction projects worldwide, Asia-Pacific was also at the top of the ranking.

“Airports will be core drivers of (aviation) industry-wide change, while
themselves being transformed in the process,” remarked a study on the

‘Evolution of Airports – Travel Trends in The Next 30 Years’ published by Oliver

Wyman, a global consultancy, Airports Council International (ACI) World, and the

Sustainable Tourism Global Center (STGC).
