Correct answer: D
Concept
Airport rankings are obtained by sorting all airports on one specified metric for one specified period. For passenger-traffic rankings, total passengers means domestic and international passengers combined; rank 1 has the highest total.
Application
For FY 2021–22, the Airports Authority of India passenger table records Jaipur International Airport at 2,943,171 total passengers and places it at rank 15.
Contrast
Rank | Airport | Total passengers |
|---|---|---|
10th | Pune | 3,713,491 |
12th | Srinagar | 3,158,400 |
14th | Patna | 2,967,681 |
15th | Jaipur | 2,943,171 |
Cross-check
The adjacent totals are consistent with this order: Patna at rank 14 has 2,967,681 passengers, Jaipur has 2,943,171, and Chandigarh at rank 16 has 2,289,169.
Therefore, Jaipur ranked 15th among India’s busiest airports by total passenger traffic in FY 2021–22.
