T3 shift: Airlines' winter schedule upset

New Delhi: With another delay in shifting of domestic airlines to Terminal 3, airlines might have to change their winter schedules. The winter schedule did not have much difference between two flights, keeping in mind the integrated terminal. But that will have to change now. The schedule was supposed to be
implemented from October 31 as the terminal shift date was October 30.
"The new timings was decided in a way that there was not much difference between two flights. The logic behind this was integrated terminal. We use the same aircraft for several destinations but at IGI Airport the time got wasted by sending aircraft from the domestic to international terminal. We were hoping to save that time after shifting to T3," said an Air India official on the condition of anonymity.
Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines and their low cost arms were scheduled will now shift to T3 on November 14.
The shifting is being delayed due to connectivity problem as a new link road and Metro is not ready yet.
