Delhi Airport’s fight against Covid-19! Here is how India’s busiest airport is striving for normalcy

Delhi Airport (DEL) is limping back to normalcy braving the prevalent Coronavirus pandemic as the Indira Gandhi International Airport handled around 42 per cent of the pre-Covid domestic traffic passenger traffic in the month of October. The Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has said that a footfall of around 1.9 million (19 lakh) domestic passengers was witnessed in October. The Delhi Airport also achieved the 1 million (10 lakh) international passengers-mark in October since May 25.

Citing that festivals of Navratri, Diwali, and Chhath Puja have given the much-needed boost, the Delhi Airport authority is expecting to return to pre-lockdown volumes soon. Meanwhile, based on the flyers’ choice, Mumbai, Patna, Srinagar, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have emerged as the top five domestic destinations respectively.
