The Delhi airport\u2019s Terminal-2 (T2) may soon resume operations. While Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) did not give a date, India\u2019s biggest airline, IndiGo, said on its website T2 would resume operations from next Thursday, July 22.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlight numbers 6E 2000-6E 2999 will arrive and depart from Terminal-2, Delhi, starting July 22, 2021. Please check your flight number and terminal before leaving for the airport for a hassle-free journey,\u201d the IndiGo message stated.<\/p>\n
DIAL officials said T2 could open within this month. \u201cWe were handling a peak 1.2 lakh passengers daily (domestic and international) this February, the highest since the Covid outbreak in March-end last year. During the second wave, this number crashed to 30,000, but we are currently at around 60,000 passengers daily,\u201d said an official.<\/p>\n
DIAL had suspended operations at T2 on May 18, 2021, and T3 alone was being used at Indira Gandhi International Airport for all international and domestic passengers, like April-September 2020. Now, despite talks of a third wave, the traveller numbers are picking up.<\/p>\n
Some states have begun relaxing RT-PCR requirements for fully or partially vaccinated domestic travellers, easing travel. Maharashtra on Thursday dropped it for both domestic and international flyers if both jabs are taken at least 15 days before the arrival. \u201cThe time interval of the validity of the RT-PCR test for all other persons will now be 72 hours instead of 48 hours,\u201d the order states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
