Airlines operating at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) are expected to achieve significant annual savings of approximately Rs 150-180 crore. This forecasted reduction is attributed to the utilization of the newly inaugurated Eastern Cross Taxiways (ECT), which effectively decreases taxiing time and fuel consumption for aircraft.
Operational Efficiency and Passenger Experience
The 2.1 km long ECT, operational since July 14 at Delhi’s IGI airport, accommodates wide-body aircraft and significantly reduces the time passengers spend on the tarmac after landing and before take-off.
