Delhi Airport Third Runway May Remain Closed Until September for Capacity Upgrades

The third runway at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi may remain closed until September, as airport authorities work on measures to enhance the overall aircraft-handling capacity of the facility.

According to Delhi airport authorities, the temporary shutdown of the runway is linked to ongoing development work. These efforts are aimed at upgrading the airport's infrastructure to handle more aircraft in the future.

However, the closure of the third runway is expected to have an impact on flight operations in the interim. Passengers and airlines operating out of the Delhi airport may face potential disruptions or adjustments to flight schedules while the runway remains unavailable.

The maintenance and enhancement work is projected to continue through the upcoming months, with the runway expected to remain shut until September. Airport authorities are working to manage the operational impact during this period of infrastructure improvement.
