Delhi airport’s new runway likely to start next month before G20 summit
Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is gearing up for a significant moment as aircraft are poised to start landing on its latest runway, 29R/11L, starting September 7. This timing coincides with the upcoming G20 Leaders’ Summit, which is scheduled to kick off on September 8. The inauguration of the runway took place on July 14, 2023, marking IGIA’s fourth operational runway. However, since its commissioning, the new runway has exclusively been used for take-offs, owing to the pending activation of its instrument landing system (ILS).
As per a TOI report quoting sources, the ILS equipment was procured from Russia in May this year, yet its calibration has encountered certain complications.
