In 2010, IGIA was conferred the fourth best airport award in the world in the 15–25 million category, and Most Improved Airport in the Asia-Pacific Region by Airports Council International. The airport uses an advanced system called Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) to help keep takeoffs and landings timely and predictable. The Terminal 3 building has a capacity to handle 34 million passengers annually and was the world's 8th largest passenger terminal upon completion. With the commencement of operations at Terminal 3 in 2010, it became India's and South Asia's largest aviation hub. In September 2008, the airport inaugurated a 4,430 m (14,530 ft) runway. In May 2006, the management of the airport was passed over to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a consortium led by the GMR Group. The airport was operated by the Indian Air Force before its management was transferred to the Airports Authority of India. The under construction expansion program will increase the airport's capacity to handle 100 million passengers by 2030. It is the world's busiest airport for Airbus A320 aircraft. As of now, it is the 17th busiest airport in the world and 6th busiest airport in Asia by passenger traffic handling nearly 70 million passengers. It is also the busiest airport in the country in terms of cargo traffic, overtaking Mumbai during late 2015. Named after Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India, it is the busiest airport of India in terms of passenger traffic since 2009. The airport, spread over an area of 5,106 acres (2,066 ha), is situated in Palam, 15 km (9.3 mi) south-west of the New Delhi Railway Station and 16 km (9.9 mi) from New Delhi city centre.
