Airlines face delays, congestion issues at Indian airports

Key Indian international airports at Delhi and Mumbai are experiencing accessibility problems as a result of traffic volume increases and infrastructure upgrades.

Airport operator Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) said surface improvements on the airport’s Runway 10/28 would take one week from April 5, but carriers would not be inconvenienced. However, some carriers have warned passengers to expect delays during the maintenance period.

DIAL said remaining runways, 09/27 and 11/29, would be fully available on a 24/7 basis to handle traffic and that “these two runways will be sufficient to take care of the current need of air traffic movement.”
In addition, low-cost carrier (LCC) IndiGo issued a statement to travelers April 8 saying that “consequential delays and congestion” are to be expected during the upgrading work at Delhi International.
