Delhi Airport T1 Faces Technical Glitch During Check-in

New Delhi, Apr 15 (PTI) Delhi airport's Terminal 1 briefly experienced a technical issue during check-in on Tuesday.

The glitch also happened on a day when all operations from Terminal 2 were shifted to T1 as T2 has been closed for maintenance works.

"We experienced a technical issue at T1 check-in. Our team along with stakeholders are resolving it and operations are normalising. We regret the inconvenience caused," Delhi airport operator DIAL said in a post on X at 1250 hrs.

An official said the issue related to the baggage belt was there briefly and was resolved.

In a post on X at 1151 hours, IndiGo informed passengers that due to a temporary baggage belt failure at Terminal 1, passengers may experience slightly longer wait time during check-in and while collecting baggage upon arrival.

Now, T1 and T3 are operational at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), operated by DIAL. The airport has four runways, and one of them is shut for maintenance works.

Only IndiGo and Akasa Air were having flights from T2, which was constructed nearly 40 years ago.

The expanded T1 can accommodate 40 million passengers, and T3 can handle 45 million passengers annually. T2 had an annual capacity to handle 15 million passengers.
