Indira Gandhi International Airport(Hindi: इंदिरा गांधी अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डा, English. Indira Gandhi International Airport) (IATA: DEL, ICAO: VIDP listen)) is an airport in Delhi, India. Named after former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi, it is the busiest airport in India in terms of takeoffs and landings, and also the second busiest airport in India by passenger traffic. The airport is the main civil aviation hub in the Indian Capital Region. The airport was previously used by the Indian Air Force and was part of Palam Airport, but later management of the airport was transferred to civilian authorities. In May 2008, management of the airport was transferred to the joint venture Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), which is managed by the GMR Group, which in turn took responsibility for the reconstruction and expansion of the airport.
In 2007, Indira Gandhi International Airport served about 23 million passengers and adopted a program to increase passenger turnover to 100 million by 2030. The new Terminal 3 building, currently under construction, will cost $1.94 billion and will serve an additional 37 million passengers annually; its launch will coincide with the 2010 Commonwealth Games. In September 2008, the airport opened a 4.43 km runway, the second longest runway in Asia after Alma-Ata Airport with its 4,500 meters.

Story
The airport formerly known as Palam Airport, was built during the Second World War and was an Indian Air Force base. Passenger operations were later transferred from Safdarjung Airport in 1962 due to increased load. Palam Airport had a peak capacity of about 1,300 passengers per hour.
Due to the increase in air traffic in the 70s, an additional terminal was built with almost four times the area. With the opening of the new international terminal (Terminal 2) on May 2, 1986, the airport was renamed Indira Gandhi International Airport. There are nine jet bridges in the international terminal.
Infrastructure
The old Palam Terminal, now known as Terminal 1, is used for domestic flights. The terminal was divided into three separate terminals - 1A (for domestic flights of state-owned Indian Airlines and Kingfisher Airlines), 1B (for all other domestic airlines) and the domestic arrival terminal. There is also a separate Technical Area for VVIPs. In addition, there is a separate Pilgrim Terminal that caters to Muslims performing the Hajj.
As a result of the rapid growth of Indian aviation and the entry of numerous private low-cost airlines into the market, the airport experienced a sharp increase in air traffic and began to experience enormous difficulties in handling the volume of passengers. The capacity of Terminal 1 was only 7.15 million passengers per year, but the actual passenger turnover in 2005/06 was about 10.4 million. Together with the international terminal (Terminal 2), the airport's throughput was 12.5 passengers per year, while the actual passenger turnover in 2006 /07 amounted to 16.5 million. In 2007, traffic increased sharply again, already by 6.5 million per year, amounting to 23 million passengers.
Delhi Airport has two parallel runways and one non-parallel runway: the new 4,430 m long Runway 11R/29L, CAT IIIB ILS certified at both ends, Main Runway 10/28 (3,810 m) and Secondary Runway 09/27 ( 2,813 m). Band 28 is one of the few in Asia and the only one in South Asia to be CAT III-B ILS certified. In the winter of 2005, a large number of accidents and destruction occurred at the airport due to thick fog and smog. As a result, some local airlines have begun training pilots to perform CAT-II landings in low visibility conditions. On March 31, 2006, Indira Gandhi International Airport became the first Indian airport to use two runways simultaneously to accommodate the landing of a SpiceJet aircraft and the takeoff of a Jet Airways aircraft.
The construction of Terminal 3 is the first stage of the airport's expansion, the U-building of which will be developed on a modular basis. In 2010, all foreign and local full service carriers will move to Terminal 3, while Terminal 1 will become a low-cost airline terminal. In subsequent stages, low-cost carriers will also use the new terminal complex.
Terminals 4 and 5 are planned to be built in subsequent phases, once built, all international flights will be transferred to these two new terminals, and Terminal 3 will serve only domestic flights. It is also planned to build a new cargo terminal building. According to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the cost of the new terminals will be about $7.5 billion, and the airport's capacity will increase as a result to 100 million.
Plane crashes and incidents
Airlines and destinations
Indira Gandhi International Airport is the base of several Indian airlines, including Indian Airlines, SpiceJet, Air India Regional and IndiGo Airlines. Air India and Jet Airways use the airport as their second base (the first is Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai). The airport is also the main base for many Indian carriers, including Kingfisher Airlines, GoAir, Deccan and Jet Lite. Around 100 domestic, international and cargo airlines serve at the airport. The airport has a total of six terminals:
Terminal 1 (domestic)
This terminal serves all domestic flights (from Terminals 1A and 1B). The terminal is small in size, but additional space is allocated for receiving passengers and handling baggage. The terminal will be vacated after the new terminals are put into operation.
Terminal 1A
Terminal 1A serves all domestic flights of Kingfisher Airlines, Air India and their affiliates Air India Regional and Indian Airlines. Since this is the oldest terminal, it required repair and modernization. DIAL, the owner of the airport, has modernized the terminal. Today, the terminal has modern toilets and other facilities, but after the new terminals are put into operation, Terminal 1A will cease to exist.
Terminal 1B
Terminal 1B serves all other domestic carriers including Deccan, IndiGo Airlines, Jet Airways with its JetLite division, Jagson Airlines, MDLR Airlines, GoAir and SpiceJet. This terminal has also been modernized, with fast food restaurants, a new lounge area, and new restrooms. There is also an area for further development of the terminal. This terminal will also be closed after the new terminals at the airport become operational.
Terminal 2 (International)
The international terminal serves all international flights at the airport and is currently the airport's largest terminal. However, built in the 1980s, it is also in need of renovation and is not large enough to handle passenger traffic. As a result of the modernization, the terminal was repainted, glass windows were replaced with darker ones, tiles were changed, walls and streams were resurfaced, more immigration control capacity was installed, new seats and baggage belts were purchased, and the shopping area was expanded. The further fate of the terminal has not been determined. Once Terminal 3 opens in 2010, all airlines will serve the new terminal, while Terminal 2 will be used by business aviation or will be dismantled.
Pilgrim Terminal
For the annual Hajj pilgrims, all airlines flying to the Middle East operate from a special terminal to prevent the flow of pilgrims from interfering with other passengers, usually of a different religion. The terminal has a capacity of 10 million passengers per year. It operates from October to December. There are plans to extend the use of the terminal building for the remaining 10 months of the year.
Cargo terminal
The Cargo Terminal handles all cargo operations at the airport. The airport received a prize in 2007 for its cargo handling system.
Terminal 3
With an area of 502,000 m², it ranks 26th in the list of the largest buildings and structures in the world (by floor space). This terminal is used by all airlines at the airport.
Transport in Delhi
The airport is connected to Delhi by the Delhi Gurgaon Expressway. Low-floor Tata Marcopolo buses provide regular services between the airport and the city. The metro line to the airport will be completed by 2010.

Indira Gandhi International Airport in the Indian capital is a huge modern air terminal complex. Most aircraft flying into Delhi are serviced at Terminal 3. This terminal has two giant wings - for international and local flights.
Only a few small airlines (such as ndiGo, GoAir) accept the old Terminal 1. Therefore, if you are going to continue flying around India on a “domestic” flight, be sure to check the terminal before following the domestic flight signs.
Please note: only passengers with tickets are allowed into the terminals. You will be asked to present your ticket or boarding pass in printed form or on the screen of your mobile device upon entry. If you don't have a ticket, but want to enter the building, you need to buy an Entry Ticket (in October 2017 it costs 100 rupees). The ticket office is located on the ground floor next to the bus stops in the area of 9 and 10 columns.
It is better to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure, because you can spend quite a lot of time at the check-in and baggage drop-off counters (the employees work very slowly). There are also long queues at passport control, but everything happens much faster there.
How to get from terminal to terminal
A free bus runs between the terminals every 20 minutes. Its stop is located in the area of columns 9 and 10, under the suspension bridge leading to the metro.
Luggage storage at Delhi airport
For those who want to take a walk around the city during a long layover, there is a luggage storage facility next to Terminal 3 - on the second floor of the airport near the metro entrance.
To get to the storage room, you need to go up to the second floor on a traveler (it is located between pillars 9 and 10), and then cross the closed pedestrian “bridge” to the other side. It's easy to find - Left Luggage signs are everywhere.
You can see the cost of the service in the photo (prices are valid in October 2017).
In fact, the luggage storage facility is located outside the main airport building. That is, to get into it, you do not need to enter the terminal, and if you do not have an air ticket, you do not need to buy an Entry Ticket.
Currency exchange at Delhi airport
There are a lot of exchange offices at Delhi airport: they are located both in the departure area and in the arrival area - next to the baggage claim belts. Please note that although the rate is usually indicated as average, you will receive less in your hands because a commission is charged on the transaction.
You can also use ATMs: they are located in the arrivals area after customs and the exit from the “clean zone” and in the departure hall.
Duty Free Shops at Delhi Airport
There are duty-free shops in the departure hall after passport control, and in the arrival hall after passport control before the baggage claim hall and customs.
In the departure area for international flights there are several shops with the usual selection of alcohol, cosmetics, and souvenirs. In addition to magnets, you will be able to buy sets of semi-finished products for preparing Indian dishes, incense, and decorations as gifts.
Liquor is sold at prices roughly the same as in liquor stores throughout India, while souvenirs and food are much more expensive.
Next to the shops there are two restaurants with a large selection of alcoholic drinks. Further, where the gates are, there are no shops, there are only small cafes with coffee, snacks and sweets.
Airport hotels in Delhi
There is a Holiday Inn hotel in the “clean zone” of the airport. The entrance to it is located between the Duty Free shops. You can arrange accommodation by going to the hotel representative's desk (in the corner of the check-in hall behind the entrance to local flights). A room can be rented for less than a day, but for a minimum of 5 hours. Sleeping during this time will cost approximately 6,000 rupees.
Other services at Delhi Airport
In the arrivals hall after customs in the common area there are kiosks where you can buy a local SIM card to call local numbers and use the Internet. Take advantage of this opportunity, because it is much more difficult to get hold of a SIM card in the city. Read more about how to buy a calling card in India.

The airport serves all international flights as well as flights of major scheduled airlines Air India, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Jet Lite, Jet Konnect and Kingfisher airlines.
Due to the length of the airport building, the gates (at arrival and departure) are connected by moving walkways, so leave at least 15 minutes to get to the one you need.
