Indira Gandhi International Airport (Hindi: इन्दिरा गाँधी अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डा) (IATA: DEL, ICAO: VIDP) is an airport located in southwest Delhi, India. Named after former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, it is the busiest airport in South Asia handling the most traffic movements and passengers on the subcontinent. ^[2]. The airport serves as the primary civilian aviation hub for the National Capital Region of India. The airport was previously operated by the Indian Air Force and was a part of the Palam Airport until its management was transferred to the Airport Authority of India.^[3] In May 2006, the management of the airport was passed over to a joint venture, known as Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) and led by the GMR Group, which also has the responsibility for the airport's ongoing expansion and modernisation.^[4]

In 2007, the airport handled 23 million passengers annually and the planned expansion program will increase its capacity to handle 100 million passengers by 2030. ^[5] The new Terminal 3 building, currently under construction and expected to cost US$1.94 billion, will handle an additional 37 million passengers annually before the start of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.^[6] In September 2008, the airport inaugurated a 4.43 kilometre-long runway.

[edit] History

The airport, which was earlier known as Palam Airport, was built around the Second World War and served as an Air Force Station for the Indian Air Force. Passenger operations were later shifted to the airport from Safdarjung Airport in 1962 due to an increase in traffic. Palam Airport had a peak capacity of around 1300 passengers per hour ^[7].

Owing to an increase in air traffic in the 70s, an additional terminal with nearly four times the area of the old Palam terminal was constructed. With the inauguration of a new international terminal (Terminal 2), shaped like a trapezoid on 2 May 1986, the airport was renamed as Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The trapezoid terminal (international) has nine jet bridges.

[edit] Statistics

The old Palam terminal is now known as Terminal 1 and handles all domestic flights. The terminal has been divided into three separate terminals - 1A (for domestic flights of state owned Indian Airlines and Kingfisher Airlines), 1B (for all other domestic airlines) and Domestic Arrival Terminal. There is also a separate Technical Area for the use of VVIP movements. Additionally there is a separate Hajj terminal for catering rush during Hajj.

Owing to the booming Indian Aviation industry and the entry of numerous low-cost private carriers, the airport saw a huge jump in passenger traffic and has failed to cope with the demand. The capacity of Terminal 1 is estimated to be 7.15 million passengers per annum (mppa). However, the actual throughput for 2005/06 was an estimated 10.4 million passengers. Including the international terminal (Terminal 2), the airport has a total capacity of 12.5 mppa whereas the total passenger traffic in 2006/07 was 16.5 million passengers per annum^[8] In 2007, there was a 6.5 million increase in the airport's passenger traffic, making the number of passengers 23 million that used the airport. In 2008, total passenger count at the airport reached 23.97 million.

Delhi Airport has two parallel runways and a non-parallel runway: a new runway 11/29(14,534ft (4430m))with CAT IIIB ILS on both sides, the main runway 10/28 (12,500 ft (3,810 m)) and an auxiliary runway 09/27 (9,229 ft (2,813 m)). Runway 28 is one of the few runways in Asia and the only one in South Asia equipped with CAT III-B instrument landing system. In the winter of 2005 there were a record number of disruptions at Delhi airport due to fog/smog. Since then some domestic airlines have trained their pilots to operate under CAT-II conditions of a minimum 350 m (1,100 ft) visibility. On 31 March 2006, IGI became the first Indian airport to operate two runways simultaneously following a test run involving a SpiceJet plane landing and a Jet Airways plane taking off at the same time.

As there is an Indian Air Force Base (Hindon) in the flight path of Delhi airport it is necessary for civilian aircraft to make a five-minute detour to avoid over-flying the military facility. In previous years the IAF used to close Delhi airport for use during annual celebrations to mark its "raising" day. As of 2006 such activities are conducted at Hindon Air Force Base to reduce disruption to civilian air traffic at Delhi airport.

Delhi Airport has been undergoing major upgrades since Fraport, Airports Authority of India, Eraman Malaysia, and GMR Infrastructure have been granted the contract to manage and build the airport over a 35 year period. Terminal 1A and 2 have been renovated with new washrooms, ceilings, departure areas and the latest security equipment.

The companies have also been constructing the brand new Terminal 3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport. This terminal will cater to both domestic and international passengers until the second phase of construction is completed, which will include an additional new terminal catering exclusively for international flights. Terminal 3 will be built in place of the older existing terminals.

Designed by HOK working in consultation with Mott MacDonald, the new Terminal 3 will be a two-tier building, with the bottom floor being the arrivals area, and the top being a departures area. This terminal will have over 160 check-in counters, 74 aerobridges, 30 parking bays, 72 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, for less waiting times, duty-free shops, and other features.^{[9] [10]} Over 90% of passengers will use this terminal when completed. This new terminal is planned to be completed in time for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which are to be held in Delhi, and will be connected to Delhi by an eight-lane motorway (National Highway 8), and the Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System. Terminal 3 will cater to more than 35 million passengers a year.

In September 2008, the airport inaugurated a 4.43 kilometre long runway, making it one of the longest operational runways in Asia. The runway will increase the airport's capacity to handle 70 flights from the present 34-40 flights per hour.^[11] As of September 2008, the new runway was undergoing trials.^[12]

Terminal 3 will form the first phase of the airport expansion in which a 'U' shaped building will be developed in a modular manner. In 2010, all international and full service domestic carriers will operate from Terminal 3, while Terminal 1 will be dedicated to low cost operations. In subsequent stages, the low cost carriers will also move to the new terminal complex.

Terminal 4 and 5 will be built at a later stage, and once completed, all international flights will move to these two new terminals, while Terminal 3 will then solely be used for handling domestic air traffic. A new cargo handling building is also planned. According to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), these new terminals will cost approximately US$7.5 billion dollars and will increase the airport's annual passenger volume capacity to 100 million. ^[10]

[edit] Incidents and accidents

• On 25 January 1970, a Royal Nepal Airlines Fokker F27-200 (9N-AAR) after a flight from Kathmandu, Nepal was caught in severe thunderstorms with turbulence and downdrafts on final approach to Palam Airport. The pilot could not control the aircraft and crashed short of the runway. Of the five crew and 18 passengers, one crew member was killed.^[13]
• 14 June 1974, Japan Airlines Flight 471 crashed outside of Palam Airport, killing 82 of 87 occupants; ten of eleven crew members and 72 of 76 passengers died, as did three people on the ground.^[14]
• On 7 May 1990 Air India Flight 132 flying on the London-Delhi-Bombay route and carrying 215 people (195 passengers and 20 crew) touched down at Indira Gandhi International Airport after a flight from London's Heathrow Airport. On application of reverse thrust, a failure of the no. 1 engine pylon to wing attachment caused this engine to tilt nose down. Hot exhaustion gasses caused a fire on the left wing. There were no fatalities but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair and written off^[15].
• On 12 November 1996, the airport was involved in the Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision when a Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-168B, climbing out after takeoff, collided with an incoming Air Kazakhstan Ilyushin IL-76 chartered by a fashion company, causing the deaths of all aboard the two planes. This incident is also known to be the second worst air disaster in aviation history.
• On 24 December 1999, Indian Airlines Flight 814, had just taken off from Kathmandu, Nepal and was bound for Delhi was hijacked. The plane flew around different points in South Asia and Southwest Asia, finally settling in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as officials of the Government of India and the Taliban negotiated. One passenger was killed and some were released. On 31 December 1999, the remaining hostages were freed.

[edit] Terminals

IGI Airport is the home of several Indian airlines including Indian Airlines, SpiceJet, Air India Regional and IndiGo Airlines. Air India and Jet Airways use IGI Airport as their second hub after Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai. The airport is also a major base for various other Indian air carriers including Kingfisher Airlines, GoAir, Deccan and JetLite. Approximately 60 airlines serve this airport. There are six operational terminals making up this airport, they are the following:

[edit] Terminal 1 - Domestic

[edit] Terminal 1A

Terminal 1A caters to all domestic flights operated by GoAir, Indian Airlines and Air India Regional. This terminal was built in the early 90's to cater to Indian Airlines domestic flights only. It had to be refurbished after a fire gutted the interiors. DIAL, the owner of the airport, has significantly upgraded this terminal. It now sports a new look with modern washrooms and facilities, however will be torn down on the completion of newer terminals which are expected to finish construction in the coming years.

[edit] Terminal 1B

Terminal 1B has been closed for commercial use for the public after the opening up of Terminal 1D which opened in April 2009.

[edit] Terminal 1C

The terminal in which all domestic operations (airlines from terminals 1A and 1D) arrive. The terminal is compact, however has received a new greeting area with expanded space, and a bigger luggage reclaim area.

[edit] Terminal 1D

Terminal 1D is the brand new interim domestic terminal, that was inaugurated on 26 February 2009. All domestic flights were moved to this new building from the second week of April, 2009. It is almost double the size of the current Terminal 1B. Once the new Terminal 3 is constructed in 2010, this terminal will be made solely to cater to the low cost carriers as the full fare airlines will also move to Terminal 3, along with the international flights. Terminal 1D has the capacity to handle 10 million customers per year.

Terminal 1D commenced operations on 15 April 2009. It is currently is used by IndiGo, Jet Airways, JetLite, Kingfisher Airline, Kingfisher Red and SpiceJet.

On 22 August 2009, a major storm with winds up to 90 kilometres/hr and 35mm of rain caused a part of the terminal's roof to blow off. ^[16]

[edit] Terminal 2 - International

This terminal handles all international operations at the airport. However, constructed in the 80's, it is also in desperate need of repair, and it is half its size to cater to all its passengers. This sign of distress has already been taken care of. The entire terminal has been upgraded. It has been repainted,glass windows have replaced the old dark ones, floors have been refitted with tiles, walls and ceilings now have new surfaces, more immigration and emigration counters have been implemented, new seats have been brought in, new baggage belts, more business lounges, eateries, and duty free shops have also been added. Once all airlines move to the new Terminal 3 upon its completion in 2010 Terminal 2 will work in tandem with T3, until the proposed T4 terminal is built, upon which it will be demolished as per the proposed master plan ^[17].

[edit] Terminal 3

Terminal 3 is predicted to be the third largest terminal in the world (after Dubai International Airport's Terminal 3 and Beijing Capital International Airport's Terminal 3) and will eventually be used by all airlines.

[edit] Hajj Terminal

Upon the annual Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj, all airlines bound for the middle east move to this separate terminal to prevent disruption of other passengers who are travelling to other areas of the globe. A separate area has been made for Hajj to cater to the abundance of additional travellers during this season, and to accommodate them with enough provided space. It has a 10 million passengers per annum capacity. It is used from October to December. Plans are underway to use the building for the remaining 10 months of the year also.

[edit] Cargo Terminal

The Cargo Terminal handles all cargo operations. The airport received an award in 2007 for its excellent and organised cargo handling system.
