New Delhi: With all trains booked two months in advance , many
travellers during the summer vacation are usually not left with any
option but to fly to their destinations. This summer, IGI's domestic
terminal has already witnessed a 1.5-2-fold rise in footfall compared to
the offpeak period. The rush that began in May is likely to continue
till August.
According to airport sources, the extra rush at the domestic terminal—25 ,000-30 ,000 people are stepping in daily while off-peak footfall was 15,000-20 ,000—is putting resources to test. The most intense periods are during Friday and Saturday evenings with the numbers peaking around 6pm when a lot of local passengers arrive for their weekend getaways. The time between 6am and 8am on Monday morning is another mad scramble when these travellers presumably return.
The airport operator, Delhi International Airport Ltd, says resources at the airport have already been augmented to match the increase in number of flyers and further expansion is being considered.
