Air India Group will adjust its domestic operations at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport due to the ongoing expansion activities at Terminal 3 (T3).
Accordingly, the terminal enlargement works will reduce domestic capacity at T3, necessitating the relocation of certain domestic operations of Air India and Air India Express, effective October 26.
“Air India will relocate 60 of its 180 daily domestic departures out of Delhi to the upgraded Terminal 2 (T2). Concurrently, Air India Express will move all its domestic operations to the newly renovated and upgraded Terminal 1 (T1),” the airline group said.
“All international flights of Air India and Air India Express will continue to operate from T3 Delhi Airport.”
According to the group, Air India’s domestic flights departing from or arriving at T2 have been renumbered in four digits, starting with ‘1’.
“This clear distinction will help travellers easily identify that their flight operates from/to T2,” the group said.
Besides, the group pointed out that Air India or Air India Express guests with connections, carrying boarding passes for their onward flights will be provided inter-terminal transfers between T1, T2, and T3. This service applies to connections between AIr India flights, Air India Express flights, and on applicable codeshare connections.
“Any through-checked baggage for these guests will be seamlessly transferred airside, eliminating the need to collect and recheck baggage during terminal transfers,” the release said.
“For all guests requiring transfers between T1, T2 and T3, Delhi International Airport provides a convenient shuttle service running every 10 minutes, ensuring quick and easy connectivity between the terminals.“
