The overall footfall itself has also exceeded 300,000 passengers. It is much higher than seen in Kumbh Mela 2019, which handled less than 100,000 passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"High-profile_Visitors_Increased_Charter_Flights\"><\/span><b>High-profile Visitors &amp; Increased Charter Flights<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Maha Kumbh has attracted prominent personalities from politics, business, and international communities. Some of the notable figures who traveled to Prayagraj for the event include President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governors, Chief Ministers, MPs, and MLAs. Corporate Managers like Mukesh &amp; Anil Ambani, Gautam Adani, Pawan Munjal, Anil Agarwal, and Hinduja &amp; TVS Group Managers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A major highlight for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prayagraj_Airport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prayagraj Airport<\/a> was the hosting of an international charter flight for Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire wife of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who traveled from Bhutan to witness the Kumbh. This was the first international flight at Prayagraj Airport in 93 years, and the last one was recorded in 1932 when it went from Allahabad to London.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airport_Operations_Upgrades_for_the_Maha_Kumbh\"><\/span><b>Airport Operations &amp; Upgrades for the Maha Kumbh<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The India Air Force (IAF) and Airports Authority of India (AAI) underwent extensive preparations to handle the surge in air traffic as the airport now operates overnight with 7-8 departures and arrivals. It is undergoing expansion with 80% of the work done to accommodate more traffic. Four more <\/span>international flights<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have landed at Prayagraj since Powell Jobs&#8217; visit, indicating increased interest worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Maha Kumbh ends on February 26, 2025, the authorities plan to ensure that the passengers have a comfortable travel. The Uttar Pradesh government aims to put Prayagraj Airport on the same level as Ayodhya and Varanasi to form a spiritual tourism triangle. This would help boost religious tourism and allow pilgrims who are visiting Kashi (Varanasi), Ayodhya, and Prayagraj an easy travel network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maha Kumbh 2025 has witnessed record-breaking air traffic in Prayagraj, breaking all the records and making the airport a potential major contributor to India&#8217;s spiritual tourism. With the state government&#8217;s plans for continued development, Prayagraj Airport can emerge as a major hub for traveling in the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re planning to visit for religious reasons or exploring India\u2019s rich cultural heritage, Prayagraj is now more accessible than ever.
