IndiGo cannot have Terminal-1 of IGI Airport exclusively: SpiceJet tells Delhi High Court

New Delhi: Low-cost carrier SpiceJet today told the Delhi High Court that Terminal-1 (T-1) of the IGI Airport here cannot be given exclusively to IndiGo Airlines, as doing so would be anti-competitive.
IndiGo, on the other hand, told the court that it cannot give up its option of staying fully in T-1 and said if in future its number of passengers exceeds the capacity of the terminal, then it will move some of it to T-2.

It declined to accept partial shift of its operations to T-2, as ordered by Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), saying its suggestion to be allowed to stay in T-1 and GoAir and SpiceJet be moved to T-2, was never considered.

The submissions were made before a bench of Justices Hima Kohli and Rekha Palli which reserved its judgement on IndiGo's plea challenging a single judge order of December 20, 2017 upholding DIAL's decision to partially shift operations of the three airlines from T-1 to T-2.
The development comes barely a week after IndiGo told the court said some headway has been made in the meeting with DIAL to resolve the issues related to partial shifting of the flights of the three airlines to T-2.
