Starting April 15, 2025, Delhi Airport’s Terminal 2 will shut down for extensive repair work, prompting a reshuffle that will affect thousands of passengers daily. Domestic carriers like IndiGo and Akasa will move all operations to Terminal 1, which will now operate at 100% capacity.

IndiGo, Akasa Shift to T1

IndiGo, India’s largest airline, announced that from April 15, all flights currently departing from or arriving at Terminal 2 will operate via Terminal 1. It will now function from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3, with T3 continuing to handle select operations, especially international ones.

Akasa Air will also shift entirely to Terminal 1 and has advised passengers to check flight details before heading to the airport. Passengers are urged to reconfirm terminal information via the airline apps or official websites.

No Air Train Yet: DIAL Tries Workarounds

While Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 are 7 km apart, there is no air train or dedicated connector yet—a massive inconvenience for connecting passengers. With rising international-domestic transit traffic (thanks to IndiGo and Air India network expansions), Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has started baggage transfer trials between the terminals.

DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar said trials are being conducted to ensure seamless airside baggage transfer, so international passengers arriving at T3 can drop their checked baggage at customs and have it delivered directly to T1, avoiding bus rides with luggage in tow.

120-Minute Connection Promise

DIAL has committed to the Civil Aviation Ministry that all T1 to T3 connections will be handled within 120 minutes. The airport operator aims to improve the passenger experience, even without an automated terminal connector. Until the planned air train is ready, this baggage transfer system could be a crucial fix.
