The Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi resumed its flight operations for Terminal 1 on Sunday, after staying shut for 18 months. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic that broke out last year, operations were halted at the domestic airport terminal.
The T3 terminal and the T2 terminal of the Delhi airport resumed handling flight operations from May 25, 2020, and July 22, 2021, respectively, the GMR group-led DIAL mentioned.
As per the statement released by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the Indigo and SpiceJet airlines will take off from this terminal. The first flight scheduled from T1 after its reopening would be an Indigo flight which will depart for Mumbai.
Meanwhile, flight operations at Terminal 1 of the Delhi airport have resumed keeping in mind the safety protocols amid an ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“We would like to assure passengers that at Delhi airport they will be in a safe and healthy environment. We have implemented several measures at the airport to ensure passenger safety without compromising their comfort and experience,” Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO of DIAL, earlier told Hindustan Times.
