Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital is all set to be revamped. The Indira Gandhi International airport’s new terminal and its fourth runway are likely to become operational in September this year. With this addition, the Delhi Airport will become the only Indian airport to have four runways.
Aviation Secretary Rajiv Bansal said on Thursday said, “September 2023 will be witness to Delhi airport getting a new terminal and the fourth runway becoming operational. The Indian aviation sector is growing rapidly and we are preparing for better infrastructure and better connectivity with a renewed focus on innovation.” The aviation secretary made the comments at the EU-India Aviation Summit, which began here on Thursday.
According to officials familiar with the development, the fourth runway is expected to be around 4,400 metres long and 75 metres wide. It is slightly smaller than the third runway (known as 29/11). “The fourth runway is expected to ease the pressure of a likely rise in flight operations.
