India Aviation Infrastructure Summit
Delhi, India
What to expect
India is among the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets, with operational airports more than doubling over the last decade and a national ambition to scale to 350–400 airports by 2047. Passenger traffic continues to rise in double digits, major carriers have over 1,500 aircraft on order, and the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector alone is projected to reach USD 4 billion by 2031. However, amid this rapid expansion, infrastructure challenges remain—capacity-constrained hubs, delayed projects, grounded aircraft, stressed concessions, and an execution gap between policy intent and project delivery.
The India Aviation Infrastructure Summit 2026 is a premier platform designed exclusively for aviation infrastructure leaders, including airport developers, operators, EPC firms, regulators, investors, airlines, MRO providers, and urban planners. Over two intensive days, the summit will explore how to plan, finance, build, expand, and operate aviation infrastructure optimized for the complex Indian environment.
Conference format
Attendees will engage in practical, real-world discussions covering:
- Cityside land-use and aerotropolis planning to unlock economics through cargo, logistics parks, real estate, and multimodal connectivity
- Bankable PPP models for Tier-1 to Tier-3 airports, airport clusters, and regional connectivity
- Designing future-ready terminals emphasizing passenger flow, inclusivity, wayfinding, and optimized non-aero revenue
- Managing capacity bottlenecks at major airports including expansion strategies and construction phasing in live environments
- Fleet-driven infrastructure demands affecting parking, MRO bays, and hangars aligned with India’s aircraft order book and MRO ambitions
- Net-zero ready airport architecture integrating solar power, efficient HVAC, smart building systems, and sustainable business cases
- Policy-to-project execution frameworks addressing aviation legislation, safety norms, and regional schemes such as UDAN
- Safety and resilience planning to mitigate operational risks from rapid growth, security threats, extreme weather, and cyber risks
- India’s competitive positioning strategies against global hubs focusing on routes, service quality, infrastructure, and connectivity
Featuring keynote presentations, expert panels, interactive roundtables, and live simulation workshops, the summit offers unmatched opportunities for attendees to co-create actionable solutions, share project playbooks, and develop collaborative networks to tackle India’s airport infrastructure challenges.
