New I-to-I Transfer Area at Delhi Airport’s T3 to be Operational Soon

October 18, 2022

Delhi Airport’s new expanded International to International (I-to-I) transfer area at Terminal 3 Arrivals is ready for operations and set to offer a distinctive experience to international flyers.

As part of the ongoing expansion of Delhi Airport under phase 3A, we, at Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a GMR Airports Infrastructure Limited-led consortium, have built the state-of-the-art extended International to International (I-to-I) transfer area with additional facilities to make a passenger’s connecting journey pleasant and hassle-free.

Our ongoing Phase 3A Expansion work encompasses various large-scale development and modernization activities to make Delhi Airport future-ready. Post completion of Phase 3A Expansion work scheduled in 2023, the passenger handling capacity of Delhi Airport will increase to 100 million passengers per annum (MPPA) while the airside capacity will increase to 140 MPPA.

The newly extended I-to-I transfer area spans approximately 3,000 square metres, which is double in size of the previous I-to-I transfer area.

What’s in store for international flyers?

The area will have seven (7) Food and Beverage (F&B) and retail counters, 10 check-in counters, 15 frisking booths and eight (8) X-ray machines in the expanded transfer area for the convenience of passengers. Earlier, there was only one F&B and retail counter, 06 check-in counters, 11 frisking booths and 04 X-Ray machines.

The F&B and retail counters will give passengers an option to shop, eat, and relax if they have enough time before their flight. Similarly, more frisking booths and check-ins counters and X-Ray machines will make the process of International transfers faster and smoother.

The need for expansion of the I-to-I transfer area arose to accommodate the increasing number of international transfer passengers at Terminal 3. Given this, floor plate at the Arrival level of Pier A & B junction of Terminal 3 has been increased suitably.

“We have successfully completed the extension of the International to International transfer area at Terminal 3 of Delhi Airport and now it is ready for operations. We are committed to providing a world-class experience to the passengers. The new extended I-to-I transfer area is another step towards enhancing the infrastructure and passenger experience at Delhi Airport. It will also help in enhancing the airport’s operational efficiency,” said Mr I. Prabhakara Rao, Dy. Managing Director, GMR Group.

As part of the overall development plan under Phase 3A, DIAL has constructed the new and expanded T1 Apron, the 4th Runway, and dual elevated Eastern Cross Taxiways (ECT) to connect the Northern and Southern Airfields. DIAL has also undertaken Landside developments for circulation and connectivity improvements and T3 modification works.
