Transport in Delhi - Airports

Transport in Delhi - Airports

Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) serves Delhi

for both domestic and international connections, and is

situated in the southwestern corner of the city. In

2004, IGI recorded a traffic of more than 8.5 million

passengers[3], making it one of the busiest airports in

South Asia. It operates two terminals — Terminal 1 for

domestic and Terminal 2 for international air travel.

The international terminal has all modern facilities

like Duty-Free Shopping, money exchange service and

various other recreational facilities. However, limited

transportation facilities between Terminal 1 and the

international terminal, has caused some inconvenience to

passengers in the past.

Two other airports are Palam (now part of the IGI

complex) and Safdarjung Flying Club. Palam Airport

(formerly RIAF Palam) is now used by the Indian Air

Force and the Avionics Research Centre (ARC) of the

Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
