Delhi Airport Advises Metro Use Amid India AI Summit

Delhi Airport has advised passengers to prefer the metro for journeys to and from the terminals as traffic congestion is expected during the India Artificial Intelligence Summit. The advisory warned that elevated vehicle volumes and temporary traffic management measures around the airport precinct could lead to delays on road approaches. Airport authorities indicated that the metro network offers a more reliable option for timed connections and international arrivals, particularly for passengers with fixed flight schedules.

Officials said airport operations will continue but ground access may be intermittently constrained as city agencies implement measures to manage summit traffic. Coordination between the airport, municipal traffic police and summit organisers was reported to focus on minimising disruption and maintaining emergency access. Travellers and staff were told to allow additional transit time and to follow signage and instructions from traffic personnel.

The advisory encouraged use of public transport including the metro and authorised shuttle services serving the airport, noting that such options reduce dependence on private vehicles and ad hoc drop-offs. Passengers were advised to check train schedules and plan onward transfers in advance to avoid missing connections. Those requiring road access were recommended to factor in contingencies and to use official parking and drop zones.

Local businesses and hotels near the airport were expected to adjust arrangements for guest transfers and deliveries during the summit period, and ground handlers were preparing for potential peaks in passenger flow. The airport said it would monitor the situation continuously and issue updates through official channels to keep passengers informed. Travellers were urged to plan journeys early and to monitor travel advisories before setting out well prepared.
