The Delhi airport will cross the pre-pandemic passenger traffic level at more than 70 million this fiscal and expects to complete the expansion of Terminal 1 by the end of February next year that will increase the domestic air passenger handling capacity by 23 million, a top official said on Friday. Besides, airport operator DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said Terminal 2 (T2) will be converted into an international terminal for a short term.
Currently, T2 is for domestic flights and has a passenger handling capacity of 15 million. The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national capital is the country’s largest airport and is operated by the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL).
Currently, the airport has three terminals — T1, T2 and T3 — and depending on traffic trends, the operator will take a decision on having T4. At present, only T3 has international operations.
