While interacting with the media, Jayant Sinha, Minister of State for Civil Aviation, said that with the increase in airside capacity, it is expected that the passenger movement at Delhi airport would also rise from the current 60 million passengers to about 90 million passengers annually.
According to the Minister, the department will soon put in place a Master Plan for expansion of Airside Capacity and Terminal Capacity at the airport to accommodate the increase in passenger volume. UK’s air navigation service provider NATS is closely involved in guiding the airside expansion and is giving inputs on how much the airport capacity can be expanded. The Ministry constitutes a Flight Operations Committee with immediate effect to work out the modalities for the expansion.
“The committee would meet every month and guide and facilitate close cooperation in this regard among the various stakeholders including Air Traffic Control, Airlines and Airport Operator. NATS will also be associated with the Flights Operations Committee,” said the Minister.
