IndiGo fights Delhi terminal relocation order in court

IndiGo Airlines appealed last week against the Delhi High Court ruling which confirmed that the Delhi Int'l airport was at liberty to order the airline to partially relocate to another terminal due to congestion, The Hindustan Times reported.

Delhi's airport operator ordered IndiGo in October 2017 to relocate its flights out of the Indian capital to Mumbai Int'l, Bangalore Int'l, and Kolkata Int'l from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 due to the congestion of the former. The decision was supposed to enter into force on January 4, 2018. A similar order was given to GoAir (G8, Mumbai Int'l) and SpiceJet.

The High Court ruling confirmed the airport operator's decision but extended the deadline for the airlines to partially relocate until February 15.

IndiGo argues in its appeal that a partial shift of operations to another terminal will constitute an obstacle to its transfer passengers, while the Delhi airport operator points out that without the partial relocation, Terminal 1 will soon be overcrowded.
