Delhi International Airport Ltd or DIAL, the company that operates the Delhi airport, plans to shift either IndiGo or SpiceJet to Terminal 3 and ease pressure at Terminal 1D.
T1D, which has an annual capacity of 12 million passengers, is expected to cater to around 11 million passengers in the current fiscal that is to end in two days.
"Among the two, we would prefer IndiGo because it has all jet operations through Airbus 320s and can be serviced through aerobridges. Spicejet, on the other hand, operates Bombadier Q400s and these planes cannot be serviced through aerobridges," said a GMR official.
He added that they are not considering shifting GoAir, as it is a small carrier and shifting it will not free much space in the terminal.
