Delhi Airport Faces Major Disruptions Amid Terminal 2 Closure and Runway Upgrades

Flights are being shifted to Terminal 1 as Terminal 2 undergoes renovations and runway 28/10 remains closed for maintenance, causing delays and passenger challenges.

Terminal 2 at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport will close for renovations starting April 15, 2025, with all flights relocated to Terminal 1.
Runway 28/10, closed since April 9 for Instrument Landing System upgrades to CAT III B standards, is expected to reopen in September 2025.
Approximately 200 fewer flights are being handled daily, with delays and diversions exacerbated by adverse weather conditions, including strong winds recorded at 74 kmph.
Airlines such as IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air have issued advisories urging passengers to check flight schedules and terminal details before traveling.
The renovations at Terminal 2 aim to modernize facilities with self-service kiosks and advanced baggage systems, aligning it with international standards.
