IGI airport’s terminal 2 to shut from May 17

The Delhi airport’s Terminal 2, or T2, will be shut for flight operations from May 18 in the wake of falling passenger footfall and fewer flights due to the ongoing second national wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, officials aware of the development said on Tuesday.

All flight operations will now shift to Terminal 3 (T3), which will remain the only operational terminal at Delhi’s airport, the officials said.

The recent suspension of international flights between India and some countries has also led to a fall in the number of passengers at the airport, forcing the authorities to take the decision, the officials added.
