Delhi IGI Airport News: The struggle of passengers is going to start once again at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. This time this struggle will last for about 90 days. Meanwhile, there is also a possibility of cancellation of a large number of flights. However, during this time, the Union Civil Aviation Ministry as well as many airlines are seen in action to ensure that passengers face minimum inconvenience. The ministry has instructed airport operator DIAL and airlines to take all precautionary measures.
In fact, IGI Airport is counted as the busiest airport in the country. You can guess the busyness of this airport from the fact that about 1400 passenger aircrafts move from this airport daily. In this regard, the average time of movement between two aircrafts at IGI Airport is just 21 seconds. There are a total of four runways at the airport to handle two to three aircraft movements every minute. At the same time, runway 28/10 is counted as the main runway.
