If you are planning to travel by air from Delhi, then this news is very important for you. The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) may have to face major problems for the next few months. This is due to the closure of one of the main runways of the airport, due to which more than 100 flights have to be canceled.
What is the whole matter?
Actually, the oldest and extremely important runway of Delhi Airport 10/28 (also known as Cat IIIB capacity runway) Now it will be completely closed for the next 90 days. This runway will not work overnight, but the work of repair and modernization will be done throughout the day. This work is very important to increase the capacity and safety of the runway, especially in the event of dense fog or bad weather, to ensure safe operation of flights.
How much has the effect?
The direct and major impact of this decision is visible on air traffic. According to initial reports, so far at Delhi Airport More than 100 flights (Both the coming and going together) are canceled. Apart from this, there is also a huge delay in many other flights, causing long waiting and inconvenience to passengers.
Important advice for passengers:
Air travelers are advised to check their flight status on their respective airline website, Airport Authority website, or any reliable flight tracking app before leaving for a trip. With this, they will be able to avoid problems caused by any unexpected delay or cancellation.
Why is this repair necessary?
However, this bandh will temporarily inconvenience passengers, but this is a step taken for long -term benefits. The runway is the oldest of Delhi Airport and was in dire need of its maintenance and upgradation. After being rich in modern technology and better infrastructure, this runway will be able to handle more flights in the future and ensure more efficient operation in any season.
Delhi Airport is a busy airport and in such a situation the closure of a main runway for 90 days will definitely put pressure on operations. Although other runways will still be operational, they will work with limited capacity to handle the increased number. This problem will help in making Delhi airport more modern and effective in the coming times.
