Delhi airport will resume flight operations at terminal T2 from October 1, its operator DIAL said on Monday.
The airport has been operating flights from terminal T3 only since March 23, when flight operations in India were drastically reduced due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The resumption of operations in T2 will be with 96 air traffic movements (48 departures and 48 arrivals) per day and will progressively increase to 180 at the end of October,” said a DIAL press release.

“Around 27 counters have been created, 11 for GoAir and 16 for IndiGo, to serve the passengers of the respective flights,” said DIAL.
India suspended international passenger flights scheduled for March 23 and domestic passenger flights scheduled for March 25 due to the pandemic. However, medical evacuation flights and special flights allowed by the aviation regulator DGCA have been allowed to operate.
