Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), led by GMR Group, today announced that the operations at Terminal 1 will resume with effect from October 31 at 0001 hours.
The terminal is all set to provide a safe and healthy environment to passengers flying in and out of Delhi Airport.
After almost 18 months of closure, the operations at Terminal 1 will resume with pre-COVID operators, i.e. IndiGo and Spice Jet. The first flight scheduled from T1 after its reopening would be an Indigo flight which will depart for Mumbai at 0105 hours.
DIAL has taken several safety measures with all key stakeholders to contain the spread of COVID-19, as directed by the Government of India.
“Delhi Airport is all set to reopen for domestic flight operations at T1 after nearly 18 months of shutdown. With the resumption of the third terminal, Delhi Airport will be functional completely. We would like to assure passengers that at Delhi airport, they would be in a safe and healthy environment. We have implemented several measures at the airport to ensure passenger safety without compromising their comfort and experience. Our teams have worked round-the-clock to sanitize the vast terminal. DIAL will continue its awareness drive by educating and encouraging passengers to maintain social distance while at the airport,” said Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, CEO-DIAL.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all corners of the aviation industry, and airports have not been spared from the crisis. Commercial operations of domestic and international flights were suspended from March 24, 2020 in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus pandemic in the country.
The development has come after a successful resumption of Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 that began operations in a calibrated manner from May 25, 2020 and July 22, 2021 onwards, respectively.
