All international flights of Air India and Air India Express will continue to operate from T3 Delhi Airport.

How one can identify Air India flights to/from T2

Air India’s domestic flights departing from or arriving at T2 have been renumbered in four digits, starting with ‘1’ (e.g., AI1737, AI1787). This clear distinction will help travellers to easily identify that their flight operates from/to T2.

Inter-terminal transfers for guests

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.

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. Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRM) and those requiring special assistance can also opt for a comfortable buggy ride between T2 and T3.

Augmented guest support during transition

To ensure a smooth experience, Air India and Air India Express will be proactively notifying all guests who hold bookings for flights relocating to T2 and T1 (for Air India Express guests), via their registered contact details.

Passengers making new Air India bookings on AI1XXX-series flights (departing from T2) will be clearly notified that their flight operates from T2. Guests booking Air India Express domestic flights for travel from/to Delhi will also receive notifications.

Passengers whose bookings continue to operate to/from T3 will receive a reminder to check their terminal if they have connecting flights. Additionally, all passengers checking in online for AI1XXX-series flights will receive an additional reminder that their flight departs from T2.

Air India is also deploying additional resources at both terminals to assist customers and help them to navigate between the terminals, if required. Some of the airline’s ground staff, available to assist passengers with information, terminal transfers, etc. will wear special t-shirts for ease of recognition by passengers.

Guidance for passengers

All Air India and Air India Express guests are advised to update their contact details in their bookings with accurate information, to receive timely notifications. Guests are also advised to verify their flight details and terminal information prior to travel through the official websites of Air India and Air India Express, mobile apps, or the airlines’ 24×7 customer service channels.
