The newly-built arrival terminal at T1 of Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the Indian capital of New Delhi has commenced operations.
The airport has three terminals, namely T1, T2 and T3, which are run by Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL).
This new arrival terminal is part of the airport’s ongoing phase 3A expansion and has been developed by DIAL.
Covering an area of 8,000m², the new arrival facility features four new baggage reclaim carousels.
It also offers a forecourt area, including landscaping and kiosks for food and beverage, retail and expanded parking area for cars, as well as ‘meet and greet’ zone, reported the Press Trust of India.
The pickup lanes have been realigned and widened outside the arrival terminal with three new lanes. This increases the total number of lanes to 11.
