GVK made its foray into the aviation sector when it bagged the mandate to operate, manage and develop Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Mumbai. Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) is currently implementing a master plan that has been designed to have an integrated passenger terminal at Sahar by 2013, to cater to passenger traffic of 40 million per annum. MIAL's Vision is to transform CSIA into one of the world's best airports that consistently delights customers and to be the pride of Mumbai.

GVK further increased its presence in the airports sector with the acquisition of 43% stake in Bengaluru International Airport, which is in line with GVK’s strategic objective of expanding into airport business.

GVK handles a total traffic of 44 million passengers per annum, making it India’s largest private sector airport operator.

The successful CSIA, Mumbai and BIAL, Bengaluru ventures have earned international recognition for GVK. GVK will also develop two airports in Yogyakarta and Bali, Indonesia. The Indonesian Government has invited GVK to develop two new airports in Bali and Yogyakarta. GVK has already completed the feasibility analysis for both the airports and the process of preparing the master plan will begin shortly.
