Delhi Airport’s elevated taxiway to be ready by end of 2022; How will it benefit

Delhi airport’s elevated taxiway to be ready by end of next year! Nearly 60 per cent of Indira Gandhi International Airport’s elevated eastern cross taxiway (ECT) has already been constructed so far. The elevated eastern cross taxiway would be ready by the end of 2022, according to a statement issued by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) on Wednesday. The airport operator mentioned that once the eastern cross taxiway is commissioned, the aircraft taxiing distance will go down drastically from 9 Kilometres to just 2 Kilometres as it will taxi along the taxiway parallel to runway 11/29 as well as use the eastern cross taxiway to take a straight path to Delhi Airport’s Terminal 1 (T-1) or vice-versa, a PTI report said.
