In addition to being India’s #1 airport in traffic and passenger ratings, it is also now counted amongst the leading hubs in the continent. We will make sure that DIAL’s digital and social presence is the ideal mirror for the city, as well as the country. Our goal is to engage positively; not just with our passengers, but also the city’s populace, so they can be proud of their airport as well.”
