Delhi T3 out of bounds for LCCs till March

Domestic passengers flying out of the Delhi airport in a low-cost carrier may have to wait till next March before they could use the new Terminal 3 (T3).
On the other hand, Air India and Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines and their low-cost subsidiaries will be shifting to the new terminal next month. International operations will shift to the new terminal from this month end.
“The Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has conveyed to us that we will be shifted to the new terminal by March next year,” said a senior executive at a low-cost airline. SpiceJet, IndiGo, GoAir and Paramount Airways are the low-cost carriers (LCCs).
LCCs said apart from higher charges, which they had to fork out, there was also fear they might lose their on-time performance records.
A senior SpiceJet executive said charges for using the new terminal were much more than the existing ones and they would be forced to use aerobridges and pay more for the new airport service systems.
