Delhi Airport's Terminal 1 May Reopen Post Technical Study

A technical study of Delhi Airport's Terminal 1, which is currently shut, is expected to be completed in a month. Decisions on recommencing operations will follow the study's findings after a canopy collapse amid heavy rain caused fatalities and injuries. Flights have been shifted to Terminals 2 and 3.

The detailed technical study of Delhi airport's Terminal 1, currently non-operational, is anticipated to conclude within a month, a senior government official disclosed on Sunday.

Flights from T1 have been rerouted to Terminals 2 and 3, which remain fully operational. The assessment promises critical insights into recommencing T1 operations after a partial canopy collapse due to heavy rain resulted in casualties and injuries. The civil aviation ministry, in response, has called upon IIT Delhi's structural engineers to evaluate the incident.

The official emphasized that a comprehensive technical study of T1 is underway. Following its completion, a definitive decision regarding the terminal's operations will be made. Notably, Indira Gandhi International Airport, managed by GMR Group-led DIAL, accommodates around 1,400 daily flight movements.
