AI moving 11 flights to new terminal on Sunday

New Delhi: While domestic operations are expected to shift to the integrated terminal T3 at IGI Airport only by the middle of November, Air India will be shifting 11 of its domestic flights to the new terminal on October 31.
With the winter schedule kicking in from Sunday, the airline will start several international flights that would operate via Delhi. Officials said that if they wanted to offer through check-in facility to passengers, it was necessary that they arrived at the same terminal from where they would have to change aircraft for the second leg of the journey.
Some of those aircraft have also been deployed on international routes and bringing them to T3 from the domestic apron would have been a time consuming and cumbersome task.
"We are starting flights like Hyderabad-Chicago, Hyderabad-Frankfurt, Bangalore-Chicago, Bangalore-Frankfurt, Kolkata-New York, Amritsar-Toronto and Jaipur-Dubai. All these flights are via Delhi.
