Operational Context
The company noted that previous muted growth in traffic, particularly domestic traffic from May 2025 to September 2025, was attributed to temporary disruptions caused by changed airspace conditions amid geopolitical events and runway upgradation at Delhi Airport. The enhanced runway reopened on September 16, 2025, contributing to the improved performance metrics.
