GMR Airports Limited has achieved a remarkable milestone by being recognized as one of the world’s most trusted companies in the Transport, Logistics & Packaging category, according to Newsweek’s World’s Most Trusted Companies 2024 survey. This prestigious accolade marks GMR as the first Indian airport developer and operator to make the list, highlighting its exceptional standing within the global aviation sector.
Ranked 5th globally in its category, GMR Airports stands out for its unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity. The company’s leadership in India’s aviation industry and its growing influence on the global stage are evident in this achievement. Newsweek’s survey, conducted in partnership with Statista, assessed over 1,000 companies across 23 industries and 20 countries, evaluating them based on investor trust, customer trust, and employee trust.
Being included in this elite list alongside global giants like Singapore Airlines and Rolls-Royce underscores GMR Airports’ dedication to transparency, reliability, and operational excellence. The company’s focus on building world-class infrastructure and fostering passenger trust has cemented its position as a key player in the aviation industry. GMR Airports Limited serves over 121 million passengers annually, playing a crucial role in advancing India’s aviation sector.
The company’s presence in major airports, including Delhi, Hyderabad, Goa, and Medan, further highlights its regional and global significance. Chairman GBS Raju expressed pride in this achievement, stating, “Being recognized as one of the top five most trustworthy companies globally reaffirms our dedication to innovation, safety, and delivering exceptional experiences for passengers and stakeholders.”

The company’s long-term projects, such as the development of greenfield airports in Bhogapuram (India) and Crete (Greece), demonstrate its commitment to expanding its global footprint while maintaining a strong focus on sustainable and innovative infrastructure. In 2020, Groupe ADP became a strategic partner and co-promoter of GMR Airports, further expanding the company’s global reach.
