Following the conclusion of the G20 leaders’ summit on September 10, the iconic old main runway (28/10) at Delhi Airport, renowned for its “jumbo point” viewing area on the Gurgaon E-way, will undergo a comprehensive recarpeting. This essential maintenance operation is scheduled to last for approximately 75 days.
As per a ToI report, the airport’s recently commissioned runway (29R-11L), inaugurated on July 14 and currently designated for take-offs, is anticipated to be prepared for both landings and take-offs by the close of this month. As this fourth runway becomes fully operational alongside the existing three, the closure of the old main airstrip for repairs will not impact the airport’s flight handling capacity.
