The 5.4 million sq ft complex will put it ahead of Seoul's Incheon, Tokyo's Narita (terminal one) and Singapore's Changi (terminal three), say the folks at Indira Gandhi.

So just how big is this new terminal? Some figures to chew on:

- Passenger capacity: 34 million passengers per year
- Number of levels: Nine
- Number of boarding gates: 48
- Number of aerobridges: 78 (including some for the A380's upper deck)
- Number of travellators: 92
- Number of check-in counters: 168
- Total length of all conveyor belts: 7km (which can handle 12,800 bags per hour)
- Number of x-ray machines: 41
- Number of flight information display systems: 800
- Capacity of airport's carpark: 4,300 cars
