Domestic operations at T3 will start from Oct 30

New Delhi: Domestic operations at the new terminal, T3, are set to start from October 30. Airlines will move to the terminal on October 29 while the first flight will operate out of the terminal at 5am the following day.
The three full cost carriers — Air India, Kingfisher and Jet Airways — are going to shift into the new terminal while the low cost carriers will continue to operate out of the present domestic terminal 1D.
However, the main runway 28/10 that has been under maintenance for the past six months, is not likely to get operational for another couple of days. According to sources, heavy rains in the recent past had held up work on the airstrip for a while and calibration work on it was to start only by Thursday. ''Work should not take more than a day or two and if everything is on schedule, the runway can be commissioned before the Games start,'' said airport sources.
In a meeting between airport management Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd (DIAL) and airlines on Monday, DIAL reportedly told airline officials they would have to occupy the back-up offices by October 20 and move into the terminal by the evening of October 29.
