Strong winds of change are blowing at the Capital’s airport terminals.
The Union government wants all passenger flights to operate from
Terminal 3 (T3) of the Delhi airport.
Currently, both domestic and international flights operate from T3, and 1D is Delhi’s solely domestic terminal.
With a view to cutting down on passenger fares, transit time and fuel consumption, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has asked the Delhi airport operator to come up with a concrete plan to synchronise all operations of passenger aircraft at T3.
Mail Today has accessed the ministry’s letter to the operator, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL). The aviation ministry has sought an urgent meeting on Thursday with DIAL and other agencies concerned, and also asked the operator to explore the possibility of making 1D a fully-fledged cargo terminal.
“The Delhi International Airport Limited will come out with a concrete action plan for decongestion of Terminal 1D with the possibility of making it a fully-fledged cargo terminal and synchronising all operations of passenger aircraft from Terminal 3,” UK Bhatia, under-secretary in the ministry of civil aviation, wrote to DIAL on Monday.
