Delhi's new T-3 terminal swings into business today

The full-scale commercial operations at the swanky new integrated terminal 3 (T3) of the IGI airport here will begin today with all airlines shifting their operations and the Air India flight from New York will be the first to arrive. "The airlines would shift their operations to T3 from 2 pm onwards. We have chosen Wednesday to shift from T2 to T3, because on this day there are least number of flights between 2 pm and 7.30 pm," Andrew Harrison, Chief Operating Officer, DIAL, said. Passengers of Air India's flight (AI-102) from JFK New York would be the first to arrive at the world's sixth largest airport, when its commercial operations begin, he said, adding Air India's Jaipur-Delhi-Dubai flight (IC-895) would be the first flight to take-off from here.
