NEW DELHI: Four domestic departures scheduled to operate between 6am and 8am from Indira Gandhi International Airport’s terminal 3 (T3) will be shifted to other terminals to ease peak hour security queues.
The move will mean 600 fewer passengers during morning peak hours at T3. Some other steps are also being taken to speed up the process for domestic outbound flyers at T3, as Christmas travel season is less than a month away.
While these are the immediate steps, India’s busiest airport has also decided to take some medium term measures to handle air traffic — which is now again showing green shoots of growth after a decline following Jet’s demise earlier this year — at T1, T2 and T3 till the expanded T1 is ready by June 2022 and fourth runway by June 2021.
