New Delhi: Terminal 2 of the Delhi airport, the erstwhile international terminal that has been lying almost defunct since 2010 when Terminal 3 was commissioned, has been buzzing with activity for the last couple of weeks. It is being upgraded and refurbished at present to accommodate some budget carriers operating from Terminal 1D.
The private airport operator, Delhi International Airport Ltd. (DIAL), is planning to expand the domestic departure Terminal 1D and hence some low-cost carriers operating from the terminal would be shifted to Terminal 2. According to sources at the airport, the budget carriers will start operating from Terminal 2 from January 1, 2017.
“The terminal was started in the mid 1980s and was mothballed since 2010 after Terminal 3 was opened for public. To allow flight operations from here again, the terminal is being completely refurbished with new flooring, false ceiling, air-conditioning etc.,” an airport official said. “Apart from these changes, the technical systems are being made up to date for flight operations,” he said.
According to airport officials, Terminal 1D will continue to cater to IndiGo flights while SpiceJet and GoAir might be shifted to Terminal 2.
