Foreign airlines see India’s potential as global aviation hub for APAC

International airlines are recognising India’s potential to become an aviation hub, connecting Asia Pacific to Africa and West Asia, according to a report by Mint. While Japan Airlines and Thai Airways executives acknowledge the potential, they also suggest that it might take some time for India to establish itself as a hub. India is currently the third-largest civil aviation market, and the government is reportedly working on plans to develop the country as a hub for international traffic, with efforts to make airports in metro cities more transit-friendly, aiming to reduce transfer times for passengers.
