Choked with a surge in traffic in the domestic sector, the Delhi Airport decided to undertake a massive Rs 16,000-crore upgradation of Terminal 1, which is the hub of low-cost carriers.
For this purpose, IndiGo, Spicejet, and GoAir – the three airlines operating from the terminal – have been asked to shift partial operations to Terminal 2 (T2).
While GoAir has agreed to shift its entire operations to T2 and operated its first flight on Saturday morning, IndiGo and Spicejet haven't yet agreed to follow suit. T2 was shut down in July 2010 when international operations shifted to Terminal 3
