After remaining shut for about seven months, Delhi airport’s refurbished Terminal 2 will be operational from Sunday (October 26). Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Saturday inaugurated the Terminal and said the government is developing and transforming airports into world-class transit hubs at an unprecedented pace. “Handling nearly 50 per cent of the Northern region’s total passenger traffic and managing nearly 50,000 transfers every day, Delhi is emerging as a preferred transfer hub,” he said.

The renovated terminal promises a smoother, faster and more tech-driven travel experience. Originally built by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) nearly 40 years ago, Terminal 2 was closed in April this year for a full-scale revamp.

With a renewed annual capacity to handle 15 million passengers, the refurbished T2 now blends classic structure with cutting-edge technology to enhance efficiency and comfort.

Let’s take a look at the new features at Terminal 2

Passenger boarding bridges

Delhi Airport T2 now boasts six state-of-the-art passenger boarding bridges with autonomous docking technology, a first in India. Equipped with elevated ramps for wheelchair users and optimally aligned cabins, these bridges make boarding faster, smoother and more convenient for everyone.

Self-baggage drop

Say goodbye to long check-in queues! The self-baggage drop facility allows passengers to quickly check in their luggage on their own. This will make the airport experience for the commuters more seamless and time-efficient.
