How many airports does India currently have in operation, according to the Civil Aviation Minister at the Routes Asia curtain raiser?
- A.Over 120
- B.Over 140
- C.Over 166
- D.Over 200
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is over 166. The Minister said India's aviation sector is expanding quickly, with that many airports already in operation and plans to develop a hundred more over the coming decade. He linked this expansion to the hub-and-spoke model, under which traffic is routed through large hubs so that smaller cities can be connected to emerging markets, and to India's steady progress towards becoming the world's third largest aviation market. Option A and option B understate the figure announced and are therefore wrong. Option D overstates it and does not match the number given at the curtain raiser, so it is also incorrect. Aspirants should remember the pair of figures together, the airports already working and the hundred more planned, because examiners frequently combine both in a single question.
