Managing the massive growth in air traffic, especially for low-cost carriers, is proving to be a challenge for the Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) at the choked terminal 1. Going to this terminal in peak morning and evening hours has become a nightmare for flyers as the solitary road leading to it remains chock-a-block with cars and getting off the vehicle to enter the terminal is a quite a task.
DIAL has now put forward three options to the three airlines that operate from T1—IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir: move one airline to T2 (the old international terminal that was mothballed in 2010 when T3 became operational); relocate some flights of all the airlines from T1 to T2; reduce peak-hour flights of all the three airlines at T1 by 20% and spread them over non-peak hours.
The airport operator has given these options as its plan to shift SpiceJet and GoAir—which collectively have 72 aircraft—to T2 and make T1 exclusively for IndiGo met with stiff resistance from the former two. SpiceJet's stand, for instance, has been that either all airlines be shifted partially to T2 or none. IndiGo alone operates 126 planes.
