Ahead of G20 Summit, Delhi Airport gears up to welcome world leaders

Ahead of the G20 Summit in New Delhi on September 9-10, three ceremonial lounges have been prepared to receive the heads of state at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA).

Government officials said that officials accompanying the 19 heads of state can complete the formalities at these lounges and exit the airport from the technical area without affecting the movement of regular passengers.

An official said, “The VIPs will land at the technical airport but aircraft and private jets carrying them will be parked at the Delhi airport. Special arrangements have been made to park the Air Force One and a few other important aircraft at the Palam Air Force Station.”
