DIAL adding 300 seats at Terminal 1-B

New Delhi: Seating has always been a problem for passengers waiting at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Things are, however, looking up for domestic passengers, with Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) adding nearly 300 seats at Terminal 1-B.
To create more space in the crowded terminal building, DIAL has relocated the X-Ray machines of low-cost airlines, from their original locations within the terminal building, to the new extension area. “We have realigned our X-Ray machines for additional seating area inside the terminal building. All X-Ray machines of Air Deccan, Spicejet, Indigo and Go Air have been shifted to the extension area,” Arun Arora, of DIAL corporate communications, said.
DIAL originally built the extension last year to handle additional rush during the winter, when passengers are stranded because of fog. Now the same canopy has been converted into a permanent area.
There are several gates that lead here and passengers travelling on low-cost airlines can access their X-Ray areas from gates 2 and 3. Inside, four separate queues lead to the baggage X-Ray machines of the respective airlines.
