Delhi airport plans air train by 2028

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is set to launch an "air train" by 2028 to enhance connectivity between its terminals. This futuristic transit system aims to significantly reduce transfer times for passengers moving between the airport's domestic and international terminals. The air train will alleviate the need for road-based transportation, reducing congestion and improving overall travel convenience. With the airport's increasing passenger load, the project aligns with its long-term vision to expand infrastructure and elevate service standards. Additionally, the air train is designed to provide eco-friendly transport, promoting sustainability within the airport’s operations.

As part of the Delhi airport’s ongoing expansion efforts, the air train is expected to cater to millions of passengers annually, making terminal transfers quicker and more efficient. The initiative comes as the airport prepares for growing air traffic demands, and it is poised to improve the overall passenger experience by minimizing the hassles of terminal transit. Furthermore, it complements the broader plans of infrastructure growth around the airport, which includes enhancing road and metro connectivity.

Once operational, the air train will help decongest the roadways surrounding the airport, offering seamless and dedicated connectivity between terminals. This project demonstrates Delhi International Airport Limited’s (DIAL) commitment to investing in innovative solutions to maintain its position as a global aviation hub.
