The fourth runway at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport will become operational in September. Once operational, the fourth runway will not only increase the per hour flight handling capacity of the Delhi airport, but will also cut down the waiting time for approaching and departing flights. This will be only Indian airport to have four runways.
“September 2023 will be witness to Delhi airport getting a new terminal and the fourth runway becoming operational. The Indian aviation sector is growing rapidly and we are preparing for better infrastructure and better connectivity with a renewed focus on innovation,” Union Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Bansal said on Thursday.
