Airlines, not airports, ask passengers to come 3.5 hrs before flight: DIAL

Not the airport, but airline companies have asked passengers to reach the airport 3.5 hours before departure, said a Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) official on Thursday.

According to the DIAL Deputy MD, airline companies have asked travellers to come over three and a half hours before flights from the Delhi airport.

“Airlines have given an advisory to come 3.5 hours before departure, not the airport. Airlines are giving the advisory for their comfort,” Narayan Rao DIAL deputy MD told ANI.

Rao added that within a month the airport will be able to tackle congestion issues. However, he stressed that “post-Covid the number of passengers has gone up and bags too. That’s why this sudden congestion has been reported.”
