Once the work will start on all four runways, it will boost the flight handling capacity to well over 100 aircraft per hour.
As air travel increases post covid-19, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Internation (IGI) airport becomes one of the busiest airports nationwide. To reduce the rush, and provide a seamless and better flying service to the passengers, the concerned authorities have been working on the fourth runway for quite a long time. Now, the IGI is all set to kickstart service on the long-delayed from July 13.
While confirming the news, Airports Authority of India (AAI) chairman Sanjeev Kumar told the media that once the operation will start on the fourth runway, India’s IGIA will be having a similar number of runways as compared to Washington’s Dulles International Airport.
