IndiGo will resume operations from Terminal 2 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport starting October 26, following a temporary shift earlier this year due to maintenance work.
The move comes soon after Air India earlier this month announced a similar shift of a portion of its domestic operations to Terminal 2, as part of ongoing efforts to streamline traffic across terminals. With this, IndiGo will operate from all three terminals — T1, T2, and T3 — under a revised flight number distribution aimed at enhancing operational efficiency.
All IndiGo flights numbered 6E 2000 to 6E 2999 will operate to and from Terminal 2, which is reopening for IndiGo services.
Flights numbered 6E 5000 to 6E 5999, along with all international flights, will depart from and arrive at Terminal 3, while all other domestic flights will continue to operate from Terminal 1.
“With the objective of enhancing customer convenience and airport efficiency, IndiGo will operate flights numbered 6E 2000–6E 2999 to/from Terminal 2, and flights numbered 6E 5000–6E 5999, along with all international departures, to/from Terminal 3. All other domestic flights will continue to operate to/from Terminal 1,” the airline said.
Airlines had moved their T2 operations to Terminal 1 in April due to maintenance work. The 40-year-old Terminal 2 was temporarily shut earlier this year and has since undergone significant upgrades. The refurbished terminal will now handle approximately 120 daily domestic flights operated by Air India and IndiGo, as part of efforts to streamline operations across terminals.
The airline has advised its passengers to check their flight numbers and terminal details carefully before traveling, as the changes may also involve adjustments to flight schedules.
Travellers can also find the latest updates on IndiGo’s website and mobile app.
After the renovation work, Terminal 2 is ready with advanced passenger facilities such as Self Baggage Drop (SBD) counters, aimed at reducing queue times and giving travellers more control over the check-in process.
The renovated terminal will feature six new passenger boarding bridges equipped with autonomous docking technology, the first implementation of its kind in the country, which will enable faster and safer aircraft handling.
There will also be upgraded airside and apron facilities, modern ceilings, skylight designs, and improved flooring.
The refurbishment also includes comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and safety upgrades, such as new HVAC and fire safety systems, enhanced power infrastructure, and a high-resolution Flight Information Display System (FIDS).
Moreover, clear signage, accessibility features for persons with reduced mobility, and better road connectivity, which support smoother passenger movement, have also been ensured in the refurbishments.
