Indira Gandhi International airport is one of the busiest airports in the world and the primary airport serving the needs of flyers to and from the capital of India. It is spread over an area of almost 5,106 acres and is located in the locality of Palam in the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Delhi airport<\/a> handled nearly 22 million passengers in the financial year 2021. Though the aviation sector has seen a massive growth in India in the past few years, a drop of 66% in passenger traffic was seen in 2021. This was largely due to the travel restrictions in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s New:<\/b><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>New Delhi Airport will get a whole new look and a fourth runway after the major expansion project is completed. The renovation work was undertaken by GMR. The authorities also plan to increase the facilities in the Terminal 3 (T3) and make a unique \u201cdual elevated cross taxiway\u201d that will connect the northern and southern airfields. This might eventually increase the passenger handling capacity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is said that in the future, construction work for a Terminal 4 and Air Train might also begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Terminal 1:<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Indira Gandhi International Airport has three terminals, T1, T2<\/span>,<\/span> and T3. Terminal 1 was under renovation and its expansion was completed earlier this year. It now covers an area of 8,000 sq. m. According to the authorities, it now has four new baggage reclaim carousels that will ease things for passengers. T1 handled 20 million passengers annually but after the expansion it will now be able to handle 40 million passengers, almost doubling its capacity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is massive space between baggage belts in the new terminal so it could ease the movement. There is also a state-of-the-art meet and greet gallery and various other facilities that will be helpful to the passengers and will provide them with a world-class flying experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
