Unused terminal may ease Delhi congestion

Anyone who’s flown in or out of Indira Gandhi International Airport in new Delhi, India, will know how frustrating it can be, with its sub-par facilities, archaic luggage system, intense overcrowding and recently, dust-filled rooms. The dust signals hope however, as the particles signal improvements within the facility.  And improvements come to the airport not a moment too soon, with another consideration being tossed around: to make use of the Haj Terminal, a building on airport property that today goes largely unused.

Things actually began to advance recently when an early morning Dehli International Airport Pvt Ltd led tour of the facility by aviation officials showed that despite the off-season, there were far too many queues and overcrowding. The DIAL gave the officials a detailed picture of how they planed to put the Haj terminal into use to relieve the pressure and strain on the main IGI facility.

Authorities not surprisingly fond the airport in the state that every traveller who lands here sees all to quickly: IGI is dirty, crowded and overseen by very few airport employees, giving the place an air of abandoned post-nuclear anarchy.
