Delhi Airport's all runways to operate fully in January

In a significant development for air traffic management, all four runways of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi are set to be fully operational from the first week of January. This strategic move aims to optimise the airport's capacity, reduce congestion, and enhance overall efficiency in air travel.

The decision to make all four runways operational comes as part of a comprehensive plan to manage the increasing air traffic at Delhi Airport. The move is expected to significantly improve the turnaround time for flights, reduce delays, and accommodate the growing number of passengers and aircraft movements.

The Indira Gandhi International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the country, and the utilisation of all four runways will play a crucial role in meeting the rising demand for air travel. The coordinated operation of the runways is anticipated to enhance the airport's capability to handle more flights and contribute to the seamless functioning of the aviation ecosystem.

The decision aligns with the airport's commitment to providing world-class services and facilities to passengers and airlines. The optimization of runway operations is a proactive step to address the challenges posed by increasing air traffic and ensure that Delhi Airport remains a hub of connectivity and efficiency in the aviation sector.

As the four runways become fully operational in the first week of January, Delhi Airport is poised to strengthen its position as a key gateway, offering enhanced accessibility and convenience for domestic and international travellers alike.
