Why this matters

Hub-and-spoke networks consolidate traffic through a central airport, which typically increases flight frequency and lowers costs for passengers traveling to secondary cities. This transition positions Ahmedabad as a critical aviation gateway for western India, directly impacting regional trade, tourism, and commuter convenience.
