Chennai , June 13

Mumbai and Delhi airports together hogged more than half of international traffic in the country in 2005-06.

Measured in terms of number of aircraft movements, Mumbai logged 49,186 as traffic, accounting for 28 per cent of the total 1,73,777. Delhi accounted for a percentage point less.

With less than half that share was Chennai, having a tally of 21,155 international aircraft movements. Far behind, in ranks 4, 5 and 6, were Kozhikode, Kolkata, and Hyderabad, with about 9,000 movements each.

Growth, however, is a different story. Nagpur registered more than nine-fold growth, and Guwahati, almost five-fold.

Srinagar, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata, are in the ranks 3-7. Mumbai is at rank 12, managing a double-digit growth of 12 per cent year-on-year.
