Why is Delhi airport closing T2?
With T1, which has a capacity of 40 million passengers per annum available, Delhi airport is consolidating its operations into two terminals, T1 and T3. Terminal 2 will undergo extensive renovations and repair to bring the structure to the standards of the other two terminals, after which the airport operator can think of either converting it as an extension of the international side or using it for domestic expansion again.
The extensive renovations will see self-service baggage kiosks, baggage handling systems, and self-service check-in being introduced at T2. The terminal is important for more than one reason. It is connected to the Delhi Airport Metro Line and is steps away from Terminal 3, which handles all international operations from Delhi, unlike T1 which is a 20-30-minute ride away by road.
The airlines have already started selling flights from Terminal 1. However, as a passenger, if your ticket is reflecting Terminal 2, it would be wise to check with the airline on where the flights have shifted.
