New Delhi: Coming to the aid of domestic budget flyers, the aviation
ministry has directed Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) to take
immediate steps for decongesting the choked terminal 1. Three low cost
carriers (LCC)-IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir-operate domestic arrivals and
departures from T1, leading to the terminal handling more traffic than
its capacity and causing massive trouble to flyers in peak hours.
"We have asked DIAL to work with airlines and decide as soon as possible which LCC goes where.
Once this is decided, the summer scheduling of airline slots will happen accordingly as that will depend on passenger handling capacity," aviation secretary R N Choubey said. CISF chief O P Singh said his force was gearing up to provide the manpower, which will be required at T2 and will be able to do so whenever told by the aviation agencies.
For several months, DIAL and the three LCCs have inconclusively been discussing on how they should redistribute their flights between T1 and T2 (the old international terminal). DIAL has suggested shifting some airlines or flights from T1 to T2 but a consensus has remained elusive. DIAL has so far not commented on this issue.
