Indira Gandhi International Airport

February 18, 2024

Indira Gandhi International Airport (IATA: DEL, ICAO: VIDP) is the primary international airport serving Delhi, the capital of India, and the National Capital Region (NCR). The airport, spread over an area of 5,106 acres (2,066 ha),[6] is situated in Palam, Delhi, 15 km (9.3 mi) southwest of the New Delhi Railway Station and 16 km (9.9 mi) from New Delhi city centre.[7][8] Named after Indira Gandhi (1917–1984), the former Prime Minister of India, it is the busiest airport of India in terms of passenger traffic since 2009.[9] It is also the busiest airport in the country in terms of cargo traffic. In the financial year of 2020, the airport handled 6.73 crore (67.3 million) passengers, the highest ever in the airport's history.[10] As of 2022, it is the seventh busiest airport in the world, as per the latest rankings issued by the UK-based air consultancy firm, OAG.[11] It is the second busiest airport in the world by seating capacity,[12][13][14] having a seating capacity of over 36 lakh (3.6 million) seats, and the busiest airport in Asia by passenger traffic, handling over 3.7 crore (37 million) passengers in 2021.[13][14]

The airport was operated by the Indian Air Force before its management was transferred to the Airports Authority of India.[15] In May 2006, the management of the airport was passed over to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a consortium led by the GMR Group.[16] In September 2008, the airport inaugurated a 4,430 m (14,530 ft) runway. With the commencement of operations at Terminal 3 in 2010, it became India's and South Asia's largest aviation hub. The Terminal 3 building has a capacity to handle 3.4 crore (34 million) passengers annually and was the world's 8th largest passenger terminal upon completion.[8] The airport inaugurated a 4,400 m (14,400 ft) runway and the 2.1 km (1.3 mi) Eastern Cross Taxiways (ECT) with dual parallel taxiways in July 2023.[17] The airport uses an advanced system called Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) to help keep takeoffs and landings timely and predictable.[18]

The other airport serving NCR is the Hindon Airport, which is much smaller in size and primarily handles regional flights out of the city under the UDAN Scheme.[19] The former airport, which used to be the primary airport of NCR, Safdarjung Airport is now used mainly by VVIP helicopters and small charter helicopters due to its short runway. To stimulate the increasing traffic, a second airport, Noida International Airport is being constructed to offset the load of Indira Gandhi International Airport.[20]

History edit

 
Lockheed Hudson Mark VI of No. 194 Squadron RAF at RAF Station Palam

Palam Airport had a peak capacity of around 1,300 passengers per hour.[6] In 1979–80, a total of 30 lakh (3 million) domestic and international passengers flew into and out of Palam Airport.[21] Owing to an increase in air traffic in the '70s and the '80s, an additional terminal with nearly four times the area of the old Palam terminal was constructed. With the inauguration of this new international terminal, Terminal 2, on 2 May 1986, the airport was renamed as Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA).[6]

The old domestic airport (Palam) is known as Terminal 1 and was divided into separate buildings – 1A, 1B, and 1C. Blocks 1A and 1B were used to handle international operations while domestic operations took place in Block 1C. Block 1A and 1B later became dedicated terminals for domestic airlines and are currently closed down. It is planned that they will be demolished after the construction of newer terminals. Block 1C was also turned into a domestic arrivals terminal, and was rebuilt and opened on 24 February 2022. The newly constructed domestic departures block 1D is now used by all domestic low-cost airlines (IndiGo, and SpiceJet). There is also a separate technical area for VIP passengers. The domestic arrivals terminal 1C was demolished and rebuilt into a brand-new domestic arrivals terminal. For this expansion work, GoAir and select flights of IndiGo were moved to Terminal 2 as well as select flights of SpiceJet and IndiGo to Terminal 3.

In October 2001, Canada 3000 commenced a flight to Toronto using an Airbus A340.[22] This was the first nonstop service between India and North America.[23]

Significant growth in the Indian aviation industry led to a major increase in passenger traffic. The capacity of Terminal 1 was estimated to be 71.5 lakh (7.15 million) passengers per annum (mppa). The actual throughput for 2005/06 was an estimated 1.04 crore (10.4 million) passengers. Including the then closed down international terminal (Terminal 2), the airport had a total capacity of 1.25 crore (12.5 million) passengers per year, whereas the total passenger traffic in 2006/07 was 1.65 crore (16.5 million) passengers per year.[24] In 2008, the total passenger count at the airport reached 2.4 crore (23.97 million). To ease the traffic congestion on the existing terminals, a much larger Terminal 3 was constructed and inaugurated on 3 July 2010.[25] The new terminal's construction took 37 months for completion and this terminal increased the airport's total passenger capacity by 34 million.[25] Apart from the three budget domestic airlines handled by Terminals 1 and 2, all other airlines operate their flights from Terminal 3. In June 2022, Delhi International Airport became India's first to run entirely on Hydro Power and solar energy.[26]

Ownership edit

On 31 January 2006, the aviation minister Praful Patel announced that the empowered Group of Ministers have agreed to sell the management-rights of Delhi Airport to the DIAL consortium and the Mumbai Airport to the GVK Group.[27] On 2 May 2006, the management of Delhi and Mumbai airports were handed over to the private consortia.[28] Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) is a consortium of the GMR Group (54% (currently 64%)), Fraport (10%) and Malaysia Airports (10% (currently no share)),[29] and the Airports Authority of India retains a 26% stake.[30]

Nine years later, in May 2015, Malaysia Airports chose to exit from DIAL venture and sold its entire 10% stake to majority shareholder GMR Infra for $79 million. Following this GMR Group's stake at DIAL increased to 64%.[31] Earlier, GMR indicated that it was interested in buying out the 10% stake of Fraport.[32]

Delhi Airport has four near-parallel runways: runway 11R/29L, 4,430 m × 60 m (14,530 ft × 200 ft), runway 11L/29R, 4,400 m × 45 m (14,436 ft × 148 ft), runway 10/28, 3,813 m × 46 m (12,510 ft × 151 ft), and runway 09/27, 2,816 m × 45 m (9,239 ft × 148 ft). The 09/27 runway of the Delhi Airport was the airport's first-ever runway; the British constructed the 2,816 metre-long and 60 metre-wide runway in the pre-independence era and used it during World War II.[33] In addition to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow and Jaipur Airport in Jaipur, Delhi Airport is the only airport in India to have been equipped with the CAT III-B ILS, as of 2017.[34] In the winter of 2005, there were a record number of disruptions at Delhi Airport due to fog/smog. Since then some domestic airlines have trained their pilots to operate under CAT-II conditions of a minimum 350 m (1,150 ft) visibility. On 31 March 2006, IGI became the first Indian airport to operate two runways simultaneously following a test run involving a SpiceJet plane landing on runway 28 and a Jet Airways plane taking off from runway 27 at the same time.

The initially proposed mode involving simultaneous takeoffs in westerly flow to increase handling traffic capacity caused several near misses over the west side of the airport where the centrelines of runways 10/28 and 9/27 intersect.[35] The runway use was changed to segregate dependent mode on 25 December 2007, which was a few days after a near miss involving an Airbus A330-200 of Qatar Airways and an IndiGo A320 aircraft. The new method involved the use of runway 28 for all departures and runway 27 for all arrivals. This more streamlined model was adopted during day hours (– 2300 0600 – 2300 IST) until 24 September 2008.

On 21 August 2008, the airport inaugurated its third runway, 11R/29L, costing ₹1,000 crore[36] and 4,430 m (14,534 ft) long. The runway has one of the world's longest paved threshold displacements of 1,460 m (4,790 ft). This, in turn decreases the available landing length on runway 29L to 2,970 m (9,744 ft). The runway increases the airport's capacity to handle up to 100 flights from the previous 45–60 flights per hour. The new runway was opened for commercial operations on 25 September 2008 and gradually began full round-the-clock operations by the end of October of the same year.[37]

Since 2012, all three runways are operated simultaneously to handle traffic during day hours.[38] Only runways 11R/29L and 10/28 are operated during night (2300–0600 IST) hours with single runway landing restriction during westerly traffic flow that is rotated late night (0300 IST) and reversed weekly to distribute and mitigate night time landing noise over nearby residential areas.[39]

To cater for the demand of increasing air traffic, the master plan for the construction of a fourth parallel runway next to the existing runway 11R/29L had been cleared along with the Eastern Cross Taxiways (ECT), which will have two elevated parallel taxiways linking the northern part of the airport with the southern runways. It will be elevated as it will pass over the airport approach roads. It will be 2.1 km (1.3 mi) long and both the taxiways will be 44 m (144 ft) wide, with a 47 m (154 ft) wide gap separating the taxiways, making it capable of handling Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 type aircraft. It will help flights reducing duration to reach the southern runways from 9–10 minutes to only two minutes, as well as reducing pollution and traffic. The fourth runway and the ECT was inaugurated on 14 July 2023.[40][41][17]

Terminals edit

 
Terminal 1D at Indira Gandhi International Airport

IGI Airport serves as a major hub or a focus destination for several Indian carriers including Air India, Alliance Air, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Vistara. Approximately 80 airlines serve this airport. At present, there are three actively scheduled passenger terminals, as well as a cargo terminal.

Recently, Delhi Airport operator DIAL has introduced an e-boarding facility for passengers at all the three terminals of the airport, by which all boarding gates will have contactless e-boarding gates with boarding card scanners, which will allow passengers to flash their physical or e-boarding cards to verify flight details in order to proceed for security checks.[42]

Domestic and international operations edit

Terminal 3 is an integrated terminal used for both international and domestic flights. The Indian carriers operating international flights are Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Vistara.

As far as domestic operations are concerned, Terminal 3 is used by Air India, AirAsia India (Now merged with Air India Express), Vistara, and select flights of SpiceJet and IndiGo.

Select flights of IndiGo use Terminal 2 for their domestic operations.

Terminal 1 edit

Terminal 1 is currently used by the low cost domestic carriers, such as SpiceJet and IndiGo. In 2022, Terminal 1D was fully expanded with an arrivals hall, with the goal of enhancing its annual passenger handling capacity from the previous 1.8 crore (18 million) to 3 crore (30 million).[43][44]

Terminal 1A

Terminal 1A was built in the late 1980s to cater to Indian Airlines (now absorbed into Air India). It had to be refurbished after a fire gutted the interiors and DIAL significantly upgraded the terminal. It was used by Air India for its Airbus operations until it shifted to the new Terminal 3 on 11 November 2010.[45] This terminal is now closed and is expected to be torn down on the completion of newer terminals.

Terminal 1B

Terminal 1B was also built in the late 1980s and was used only for domestic departures. Upon the opening of the new domestic departures Terminal 1D in 2009, Terminal 1B got closed and is also expected to be torn down on the completion of newer terminals.

Terminal 1C

Terminal 1C was also built in the late 1980s and was used only for domestic arrivals. The terminal has been upgraded with a newly expanded greeting area and a larger luggage reclaim area with eight belts. Terminal 1C was shut down, torn, and rebuilt into a brand new domestic arrivals hall on 24 February 2022.

Terminal 1D

 
Interior of Terminal 1D

Terminal 1D is the newly built domestic departures terminal with a total floor space of 53,000 m2 (570,000 sq ft) and has a capacity to handle 1.5 crore (15 million) passengers per year.[46] Terminal 1D commenced operations on 19 April 2009.[47] It has 72 Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE) enabled check-in counters, 16 self check-in counters, and 16 security channels.[47]

Terminal 2 edit

Terminal 2 was opened on 1 May 1986, at a cost of ₹95 crores[6] and was used for international flights until July 2010 when operations shifted to Terminal 3. After this, the terminal remained operational for only three months per year catering to Hajj flights.[48] In 2017, after revamping Terminal 2 at a cost of ₹100 crores,[48] DIAL shifted all operations of GoAir and select operations of IndiGo to that terminal in order to continue expansion work of Terminal 1.[49][50]

Interior Terminal 3

Designed by HOK working in consultation with Mott MacDonald,[51] the new Terminal 3 is a two-tier building spread over an area of 54 lakh (5.4 million) square feet (approx 502,000 square metre ) making it the world's 8th largest terminal in the world, with the lower floor being the arrivals area, and the upper floor being a departures area. This terminal has 168 check-in counters, 78 aerobridges at 48 contact stands, 54 parking bays, 95 immigration counters, 18 X-ray screening areas, shorter waiting times, duty-free shops, and other features.The international flights leave from gates 1-26 (gates 2, 4, 6 are bus gates) and the domestic flights leave from gates 27-62 (gates 42, 44 are bus gates)[52][53] This new terminal was timed to be completed for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which was held in Delhi and is connected to Delhi by an eight-lane Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and the Delhi Metro through its Airport Express (Orange Line). The terminal was officially inaugurated on 3 July 2010. All international airlines shifted their operations to the new terminal in late July 2010 and all full service domestic carriers in November 2010. The arrival area is equipped with 14 baggage carousels. Terminal 3 has India's first automated parking management and guidance system in a multi level car park, which comprises seven levels and a capacity of 4,300 cars. Terminal 3 forms the first phase of the airport expansion which tentatively includes the construction of additional passenger & cargo terminals (Terminal 4, 5, and 6).[54]

Domestic full-service airlines operate from Terminal 3 including Air India, the national carrier. The Tata & Singapore Airlines airline joint-venture Vistara also operates from Terminal 3.[55] AirAsia India, although a low cost airline, also operates its domestic flights from this terminal. Some flights of SpiceJet and IndiGo were also shifted to Terminal 3 temporarily for the expansion of Terminal 1.

WorldMark is an upcoming mixed-use project in the Aerocity hospitality district near Terminal 3.[citation needed]

General Aviation Terminal edit

India's first general aviation terminal was commissioned in this airport in September 2020. The terminal caters to support the movement and processing of passengers flying through chartered flights or private jets from the airport.[56][57]

Air cargo complex edit

The air cargo complex is located at a distance of 1 km (0.62 mi) from Terminal 3. It consists of separate brownfield and greenfield cargo terminals.[58] The cargo operations at the brownfield terminal are managed by Celebi Delhi Cargo Management India Pvt. Ltd., which is a joint venture between Delhi International Airport Private Ltd (DIAL) and the Turkish company Celebi Ground Handling (CGH).[59] CGH was awarded the contract to develop, modernise, and finance the existing cargo terminal and to operate the terminal for a period of twenty-five years by DIAL in November 2009.[60] It started its operations in June 2010.[60] In addition to the existing terminal, a new greenfield terminal is being developed in phases by Delhi Cargo Service Centre (DCSC), also a joint venture between DIAL and Cargo Service Center (CSC).[60] The greenfield cargo terminal project consists of two terminals built over a plot of 48,000 square metres and 28,500 square metres, respectively. Phase 1A of the project has been completed and is fully operational.[58] Once the entire project is completed, these two new terminals will have an annual handling capacity of 12.5 lakh (1.25 million) tonnes.[60] The cargo operations of the airport received "e-Asia 2007" award in 2007 for "Implementation of e-Commerce / Electronic Data Interchange in Air Cargo Sector".[61]

Metro rail edit

 
Delhi Metro Airport Express Train.

IGI complex has 3 metro stations. Terminal-1 in the northeast corner of IGI Complex is served by the Terminal 1-IGI Airport metro station on the Magenta Line of Delhi Metro.[201]

Terminal-2 and Terminal-3 are co-located in southwest and both are served by the same IGI Airport metro station on the Orange Line (Airport Express Line), which runs from New Delhi metro station (Connects to Yellow Line and New Delhi Railway Station) to Dwarka Sector 21 metro station (connects to Blue Line, Bijwasan railway station and Dwarka ISBT Bus Terminal) & IICC - Dwarka Sector 25 metro station (India International Convention and Expo Centre, will be further extended to Gurgaon), with trains running every 10 minutes.[202][203] Dwarka Sector 21 metro station, west of IGI, is the metro interchange of Orange and Blue Line.[204] Kirti Nagar to Bamnoli Metrolite, proposed light metro, will interchange at IICC - Dwarka Sector 25 metro station for the connectivity to airport.[205] Bamnoli will also be connected further south to Rapid Metro Gurgaon (at Rezang La Chowk in Palam Vihar) via existing IICC - Dwarka Sector 25 metro station (India International Convention and Expo Centre).[204] East Of IGI, the line connects to Yellow Line and New Delhi Railway Station at New Delhi Station. The line also links the Pink Line at Dhaula Kuan (Walover Bridge between Dhaula Kuan and Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus Station)

Delhi Aerocity metro station in southeast corner of IGI, between Terminal-1 and Terminal2&3 metro stations, is the metro interchange of Orange and Magenta lines. Metro Phase-IV is extending Magenta Line further east from Arocity Metro to Tuglakabad, via Vasant Kunj & Mehrauli Archaeological Park, with expected completion by 2026.[205]

Railways edit

Bijwasan railway station, immediately to the west of IGI on "Delhi-Jaipur line", is being upgraded to the major world class regional multimodal transport hub, construction for INR270.83 cr upgrade project started in 2022 and will be completed in 2024.[206]

"Hisar International Airport-IGI Airport line" (HIAIGI Line) will directly connect IGI with Hisar airport. In first phase, the missing Garhi Harsaru-Farukhnagar–Jhajjar rail link will be constructed. In the second phase, a short Hisar Airport rail line spur from the Jakhal–Hisar line to Hisar airport will be constructed.[200]

"Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor" (HORC) connects to the Delhi-Jaipur line at Patli railway station few kilometers south of Bijwasan. HORC will also provide direct rail connectivity to the Noida Airport via Palwal-Jewar rail spur.

Other smaller station near IGI on Delhi-Jaipur line is the Palam railway station, located north of Bijwasan station and northeast of IGI 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Terminals 1 and 3 respectively. Several suburban passenger trains run regularly between these stations.[207][208]

Roads and expressways edit

 
Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.

The airport, which lies in south Delhi near the Delhi's border with Haryana state, is connected to Delhi in north and Gurgaon (formerly called the Gurgaon) in Haryana in south by two expressways both of which have 8-lane, the older and busier 27.7 km long at-grade Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway NH 48 (part of Delhi-Jaipur National Highway) which runs through Gurgaon and newer 26.7 km long elevated Dwarka Expressway NH-248BB which passes west of Gurgaon.[209] The Dwarka Expressway begins and ends at NH-48 DELHI-Jaipur acting as a western bypass to Gurgaon, it begins immediate east of IGI airport at Shiv Murti and terminates in Haryana near Kherki Daula Toll Plaza south of Gurgaon near Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE).[210]

WPE in turn connects, listed from west to east, IGI to Delhi-Ambala-Amritsar NH 1, Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway, NH9 Delhi-Hisar (Hisar Airport 150 km west of IGI), Delhi-Jaipur NH-48, Gurgaon-Sohna Elevated Expressway, Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Faridabad–Noida–Ghaziabad Expressway (FNG), Palwal-Jewar Airport Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE), etc.

Urban Extension Road-II, 75.7 km long 6-lanes expressway, connects the IGI airport to south, southwest and western suburbs of Delhi as well as to the Delhi-Hisar NH-9.[211]

Buses edit

As of 2024, two Inter-State Bus Terminals (ISBT) for long-distance buses are being constructed for the IGI.

  • Aerocity Inter State Bus Terminus (Aerocity ISBT), adjacent to the Aerocity Metro Interchange Station near Terminal-1 of IGI, proposed in 2023, with IGI complex.[212]
  • Dwarka Dwarka Inter State Bus Terminus (Dwarka ISBT), adjacent and west of "Dwarka Sector 21 metro station", construction started on 27 acres in 2022, will cater to buses from Haryana and Punjab.[213] It is also close to Bijwasan railway station. It is 11 km west of IGI T3.
  • Gurgaon Inter State Bus Terminus, announced in 2023 over 15 acres of Sihi village near Kherki Daula toll plaz where Dwarka Expressway meets Delhi-Jaipur Highway NH48.[214] Will cater to the buses from Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. It is 28 km south of IGI.

Local transport edit

Air conditioned low-floor buses operated by Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) regularly run between the airport and the city.[215]

Metered taxis are also available from Terminals 1 and 3 to all areas of Delhi.[215]

Awards edit

In 2010, IGIA was conferred the fourth best airport award in the world in the 1.5–2.5 crore (15–25 million) category, and Most Improved Airport in the Indo-Pacific Region by Airports Council International.[216] The airport was rated as the Best Airport in the world in the 2.5–4 crore (25–40 million) passengers category in 2015, by Airports Council International.[217][218] It was awarded The Best Airport in Central Asia and Best Airport Staff in Central Asia at the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2015.[219] It also stood first in the new rankings for 2015 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards conducted by Airports Council International.[220]

The airport, along with Mumbai Airport, was adjudged as the "World's Best Airport" at the Airport Service Quality Awards 2017, in the highest category of airports handling more than 4 crore (40 million) passengers annually.[221] The airport was awarded the "best airport" in Asia-Pacific in 2020 (over 4 crore (40 million) passengers per annum) by the Airports Council International.[222] In 2023, the airport was awarded as the Cleanest Airport in the Asia-Pacific Region and also stood first again in the rankings for 2022 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards in the category of over 4 crore (40 million) passengers per annum, conducted by Airports Council International.[223]

Future expansion edit

The newer domestic arrivals and departures terminals 1C and 1D, respectively, will be connected and expanded into a singular domestic terminal which will be known as simply, Terminal 1.

Terminals 4, 5, and 6

will be built at a later stage, which will be triggered by growth in passenger traffic. Once completed, all international flights will move to these three new terminals. Terminal 3 will then be solely used for handling domestic air traffic. A new cargo handling building is also planned. According to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), these new terminals will increase the airport's annual passenger volume capacity to 10 crore (100 million).[54]

DIAL submitted a plan in 2016 to the then aviation secretary R N Choubey regarding the expansion of the airport with a new fourth runway and Terminal 4 in a phased manner.[43] The Master Plan of Airport in 2016 was then reviewed and updated by DIAL in consultation with the Airports Authority of India.[224] The terminal construction will start after the fourth runway is completed and Terminal 1 is expanded.[43]

Accidents and incidents edit

  • 1970: The pilot of a Royal Nepal Airlines Fokker F27-200 (9N-AAR) lost control due to severe thunderstorms and downdrafts, crashing just short of the runway. The plane was landing after a flight from Kathmandu, Nepal. Of the five crew and 18 passengers, one crew member was killed.[225]

  • 1995: Indian Airlines Flight 492 (IC 492), a Boeing 737-2A8 (Registered VT-ECS), was damaged beyond repair when the aircraft overshot the runway at Delhi Airport due to pilots error, on its scheduled flight from Jaipur to Delhi.[233]
  • 1996: The airport was involved in the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision when a Saudia Boeing 747-100B, climbing out after take-off, collided with an incoming Kazakhstan Airlines Ilyushin Il-76 chartered by a fashion company, causing the deaths of all 349 people on board the two planes.[234]

million domestic and international passengers flew into and out of Palam Airport 21 Owing to an increase in air traffic in the 70s and the 80s an additional terminal with nearly four times the area of the old Palam terminal was constructed With the inauguration of this new international terminal Terminal 2 on 2 May 1986 the airport was renamed as Indira Gandhi International Airport IGIA 6 The old domestic airport Palam is known as Terminal 1 and was divided into separate buildings 1A 1B and 1C Blocks 1A and 1B were used to handle international operations while domestic operations took place in Block 1C Block 1A and 1B later became dedicated terminals for domestic airlines and are currently closed down It is planned that they will be demolished after the construction of newer terminals Block 1C was also turned into a domestic arrivals terminal and was rebuilt and opened on 24 February 2022 The newly constructed domestic departures block 1D is now used by all domestic low cost airlines IndiGo and SpiceJet There is also a separate technical area for VIP passengers The domestic arrivals terminal 1C was demolished and rebuilt into a brand new domestic arrivals terminal For this expansion work GoAir and select flights of IndiGo were moved to Terminal 2 as well as select flights of SpiceJet and IndiGo to Terminal 3 In October 2001 Canada 3000 commenced a flight to Toronto using an Airbus A340 22 This was the first nonstop service between India and North America 23 Significant growth in the Indian aviation industry led to a major increase in passenger traffic The capacity of Terminal 1 was estimated to be 71 5 lakh 7 15 million passengers per annum mppa The actual throughput for 2005 06 was an estimated 1 04 crore 10 4 million passengers Including the then closed down international terminal Terminal 2 the airport had a total capacity of 1 25 crore 12 5 million passengers per year whereas the total passenger traffic in 2006 07 was 1 65 crore 16 5 million passengers per year 24 In 2008 the total passenger count at the airport reached 2 4 crore 23 97 million To ease the traffic congestion on the existing terminals a much larger Terminal 3 was constructed and inaugurated on 3 July 2010 25 The new terminal s construction took 37 months for completion and this terminal increased the airport s total passenger capacity by 34 million 25 Apart from the three budget domestic airlines handled by Terminals 1 and 2 all other airlines operate their flights from Terminal 3 In June 2022 Delhi International Airport became India s first to run entirely on Hydro Power and solar energy 26 Ownership editOn 31 January 2006 the aviation minister Praful Patel announced that the empowered Group of Ministers have agreed to sell the management rights of Delhi Airport to the DIAL consortium and the Mumbai Airport to the GVK Group 27 On 2 May 2006 the management of Delhi and Mumbai airports were handed over to the private consortia 28 Delhi

metre long and 60 metre wide runway in the pre independence era and used it during World War II 33 In addition to Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow and Jaipur Airport in Jaipur Delhi Airport is the only airport in India to have been equipped with the CAT III B ILS as of 2017 34 In the winter of 2005 there were a record number of disruptions at Delhi Airport due to fog smog Since then some domestic airlines have trained their pilots to operate under CAT II conditions of a minimum 350 m 1 150 ft visibility On 31 March 2006 IGI became the first Indian airport to operate two runways simultaneously following a test run involving a SpiceJet plane landing on runway 28 and a Jet Airways plane taking off from runway 27 at the same time The initially proposed mode involving simultaneous takeoffs in westerly flow to increase handling traffic capacity caused several near misses over the west side of the airport where the centrelines of runways 10 28 and 9 27 intersect 35 The runway use was changed to segregate dependent mode on 25 December 2007 which was a few days after a near miss involving an Airbus A330 200 of Qatar Airways and an IndiGo A320 aircraft The new method involved the use of runway 28 for all departures and runway 27 for all arrivals This more streamlined model was adopted during day hours 2300 0600 2300 IST until 24 September 2008 On 21 August 2008 the airport inaugurated its third runway 11R 29L costing 1 000 crore 36 and 4 430 m 14 534 ft long The runway has one of the world s longest paved threshold displacements of 1 460 m 4 790 ft This in turn decreases the available landing length on runway 29L to 2 970 m 9 744 ft The runway increases the airport s capacity to handle up to 100 flights from the previous 45 60 flights per hour The new runway was opened for commercial operations on 25 September 2008 and gradually began full round the clock operations by the end of October of the same year 37 Since 2012 all three runways are operated simultaneously to handle traffic during day hours 38 Only runways 11R 29L and 10 28 are operated during night 2300 0600 IST hours with single runway landing restriction during westerly traffic flow that is rotated late night 0300 IST and reversed weekly to distribute and mitigate night time landing noise over nearby residential areas 39 To cater for the demand of increasing air traffic the master plan for the construction of a fourth parallel runway next to the existing runway 11R 29L had been cleared along with the Eastern Cross Taxiways ECT which will have two elevated parallel taxiways linking the northern part of the airport with the southern runways It will be elevated as it will pass over the airport approach roads It will be 2 1 km 1 3 mi long and both the taxiways will be 44 m 144 ft wide with a 47 m 154 ft wide gap separating the taxiways making it capable of handling Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 type aircraft It will help flights reducing duration to reach the southern runways from 9 10 minutes to only two minutes as well as reducing pollution and traffic The fourth runway and the ECT was inaugurated on 14 July 2023 40 41 17 Terminals edit nbsp Terminal 1D at Indira Gandhi International AirportIGI Airport serves as a major hub or a focus destination for several Indian carriers including Air India Alliance Air IndiGo SpiceJet and Vistara Approximately 80 airlines serve this airport At present there are three actively scheduled passenger terminals as well as a cargo terminal Recently Delhi Airport operator DIAL has introduced an e
