Earlier known as Palam Airport, it was renamed IGI airport with the inauguration of a new international terminal (Terminal 2), shaped like a trapezoid on 2 May 1986. The trapezoid terminal (international) has 9 jet bridges. Currently, the airport is undergoing construction. The older Palam Airport, now known as Terminal 1, is exclusively used for domestic operations and has been divided into three separate terminals - 1A (for domestic flights of state owned Indian Airlines and now the United Breweries Group Kingfisher Airlines), 1B (for all other domestic airlines) and Domestic Arrival Terminal. There is also a separate Technical Area for the use of VVIP movements. Additionally there is a separate Hajj terminal for catering rush during Hajj.

The capacity of Terminal 1 is estimated to be 7.15 million passengers per annum (mppa). However, the actual throughput for 2005/06 was an estimated 10.4 million passengers. Including the international terminal (Terminal 2), the airport has a total capacity of 12.5 mppa whereas the total passenger traffic in 2006/07 was 16.5 million passengers per annum[1] In 2007, there was a 6.5 million increase in the airport's passenger traffic, making the number of passengers 23 million that used the airport. The passenger count was handled by fraport, and authority of the airport. There is a free transfer shuttle between the terminals.


Delhi Airport has two non-parallel runways: the main runway 10/28 (12,500 ft (3,810 m)) and an auxiliary runway 09/27 (9,229 ft (2,813 m)). Runway 28 is one of the few runways in Asia and the only one in South Asia equipped with CAT III-B instrument landing system. In the winter of 2005 there were a record number of disruptions at Delhi airport due to fog/smog. Since then some domestic airlines have trained their pilots to operate under CAT-II conditions of a minimum 350 m (1,100 ft) visibility.

As there is an Indian Air Force Base (Hindon) in the flight path of Delhi airport it is necessary for civilian aircraft to make a 5 minute detour to avoid over-flying the military facility.

Starting in 2006 such activities will be conducted at Hindon Air Force Base to reduce disruption to civilian air traffic at Delhi airport.

This terminal will come in place of the old terminals already at the airport. The new Terminal 3 will be a two tier building, with the bottom floor being the arrivals area, and the top being a departures area. This terminal will have over 160 check-in counters, 74 aerobridges, 30 parking bays, 72 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, for less waiting times, duty-free shops, and much more[citation needed].

In 2010, all international and full service domestic carriers would operate from Terminal 3, while Terminal 1 would be developed as an exclusive terminal for low cost carriers. In subsequent stages, the low cost carriers would also move to the new terminal complex. Terminal 4 and 5 will be built later, but once done all International Flights will move to these two new terminals. And a new cargo handing building would be made.

Previous carriers

The following have suspended operations from New Delhi:

  • Air Canada (Toronto-Pearson, Zürich) Air Canada had initially launched a non-stop route between Toronto and Delhi in 2003 using an Airbus A340 aircraft 3 times per week, and was the first carrier to initiate direct flights linking North America and India. In 2005, the carrier decided to adjust the route to include a stopover in Zürich. This allowed Air Canada to provide year-round service between Toronto and Zürich, as well as increase service from 3 times per week to daily. The route also provided for a code share agreement so that Swiss International Air Lines could sell seats on the flights. Additionally, a Boeing 767-300ER aircraft was substituted for the route so that the A340 aircraft could be re-deployed to start flights to new markets in South America from Toronto. However, the ZRH-DEL service was suspended altogether on April 4, 2007 due to erratic passenger traffic, with demand dramatically at an uncontrollable peak during the winter but a lower demand during the spring and summer. Air Canada could not afford a seasonal service to Delhi for just the winter months, so decided to discontinue Delhi on the route map, choosing to introduce new Chinese destinations instead. Air Canada has retained a commitment to India by codesharing with Jet Airways, which flies to Toronto via Brussels. Passengers also originating in Canadian cities which have direct service to London Heathrow on Air Canada can transit to fly Jet between LHR and Amritsar, Delhi and Mumbai. Air Canada also codeshares with Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines on Canada-India routes.
  • Alitalia (Milan-Malpensa) Service was suspended after the carrier decided to abandon its dual hub strategy between Milan-Malpensa and Rome Fiumicino due to their financial crisis. As a result both routes to Delhi and Mumbai were dropped due to speculation that Jet Airways may make Milan-Malpensa a second European hub following the success of its Brussels operations. When Alitalia emerges from its financial crisis it will reconsider resuming Delhi.
  • United Airlines (Washington Dulles,London-Heathrow, Hong Kong). United Airlines originally started service to New Delhi in 1995, as part of its "Round the World Service" program. United Airlines used to run a flight from Dulles to New Delhi, with a stopover in Heathrow. United also used to run a daily Delhi-Hong Kong flight. These flights were originally suspended after the September 11th attacks and United finally canceled all service out of New Delhi in October 2001.
  • Delta Air Lines (Atlanta, Frankfurt, New York-JFK, Paris-CDG)
  • Paramount Airways (Chennai)-Domestic operation
  • Other carriers that have discontinued operations are El Al (Tel Aviv), Scandinavian Airlines System (Copenhagen), Myanmar Airways International, Iraqi Airways, Air Ukraine and Tajik Air. Syrian Arab Airlines also had discontinued operations to New Delhi, however the service was recently revived and has been re-routed via Sharjah.
  • Swissair had to discontinue operations to Delhi due to the collapse of the airline. However the new international airline of Switzerland, Swiss International Air Lines has begun a six times weekly service from Zürich to Delhi.
  • Eurofly (Rome-Fiumicino) Service cut due to lack of success on route.
  • Scandinavian Airlines System served Delhi for roughly two years, however later axed the route for unknown purposes. On the other hand, Scandinavian Airlines will revive the service due to the economic and aviation boom in India, and are confident this new four times weekly service (with the potential to increase) will be a cash cow [1]

Future Airlines and Routes

  • Iberia Airlines (Madrid) (begins January 2009) Plans to relaunch services to India in 2009 and plans on flying to Indira Gandhi International. With limited success with opening business in Mumbai, Iberia cut off routes to South Asia. However in 2009, Iberia Airlines is planning on commencing a major expansion plan in Asia, adding routes Tokyo and Shanghai and in the second quarter Hong Kong, Beijing and New Delhi.[3]
  • Kenya Airways (Nairobi)[4] The route has already been approved along with many other new Indian destinations besides its only current destination of Mumbai in India. However the exact date of commencement cannot be determined until new aircraft are brought into the fleet since Kenya Airways cannot meet the capacity on the Nairobi-Delhi sector with their shortage of aircraft.
  • Kingfisher Airlines (Vancouver) (Date of commencement undecided)[5]
  • Scandinavian Airlines System (Copenhagen) (resumes 27 October 2008)
  • South African Airways (Johannesburg). South African Airways currently serves Mumbai as its only Indian metro. However the airline has recently acknowledged that they are losing a great deal of business by not having Delhi as well, for there are many passengers who wish to travel to Delhi but there are no direct flights so end up canceling their travel plans. Calling this destination "top priority" South African Airways has announced it will enter this lucrative market and expand India operations soon. [2]
  • Garuda Indonesia (Jakarta) has already introduced daily nonstops to Chennai's Anna International Airport and will be commencing services to Bangalore's Bengaluru International Airport in July.
