Attention Air India passengers: Carrier rejigs domestic operations from IGI's T3 to T2: Check details

Due to ongoing expansion works at Terminal 3 (T3) of Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, Air India Group has announced major adjustments to its domestic flight operations.

Air India Group has announced that 60 of its 180 daily domestic departures from T3 will move to Terminal 2 (T2). Simultaneously, Air India Express will shift all its domestic operations to the newly refurbished Terminal 1 (T1). However, all international flights operated by both carriers will continue from T3.

To help passengers distinguish which terminal their domestic flight will depart or arrive at, Air India has renumbered those bound for T2 with four digit codes beginning with the numeric number 1, for example if a flight is departing or arriving at T2 its flight will be number AI1737 or AI1787.
