How Delhi Airport will gain commercially from a Tata-owned Air India

The airport plans to give terminal 3 exclusively for the Tata group airlines- Air India, Vistara, Air Asia India

With better utilisation of slots, foreign flying rights, and greater international connections, the operator of India’s largest airport feels a privatised Air India will bring commercial benefit to Delhi airport and help it revive quicker from the pandemic shock.

Delhi is the largest hub for Air India, with most of its long-haul flights to the US and Europe being operated from here.

The airport plans to give its most modern terminal 3 (T3) exclusively to Tata Group. Currently, low-cost airlines, such as IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Go First, operate out of T3 since the airport is not functioning at full capacity.
