Three new taxiways commissioned at IG Airport

New Delhi: Three new exit taxiways have been commissioned at Indira Gandhi International Airport to enable faster landing of aircraft on one of the runways.
The taxiways--Bravo, Uniform and Victor--have been commissioned by Delhi International Airport Pvt Limited (DIAL), a joint venture company entrusted with the task of modernisation and restructuring of the Delhi Airport.
The rapid taxiways will reduce runway occupancy time for aircraft landing on the main runway from the Dwarka side, the joint venture said in a release.
As a result aircraft can vacate the runway sooner and reduce the waiting time for following aircraft leading to faster landings.
DIAL, comprising GMR Group, Airports Authority of India, Fraport, Malaysian Airport and India Development Fund, has also started work on the integrated passenger terminal and runway and the new terminal would be inaugurated in 2010 before the Commonwealth Games.
Prior to that in 2008, a new runway and domestic terminal will be ready to cater to the growing traffic.
