First: You MUST clarify if it's at a certain time of day/night. i.e. noon, midnight, etc. Is this at any given point in time?

Top-Down

Population of Delhi/Surrounding areas residents...subset of which would be flying in/out

PLUS population of daily visitors (business / tourist)

% of each group that would need taxis

Multiply out

Divide by time period unit

Bottom-up

When you've been to a large airport, how many landings have you see on the board at one time?

How many per hour?

How many peak hours per day?

How many non-peak hours per day and what % of peak would this be?

# of people in an average plane (i.e. landing)

Multiply out

Divide by time period unit

Is Delhi Airport probably larger or smaller than this sample airport (multiply by that factor)
