The comprehensive technical study of Delhi Airport’s currently closed Terminal 1 (T1) is expected to be completed within a month. Based on the findings, a decision will be made regarding the resumption of operations at the terminal, PTI cited a senior government official stated on Sunday. 

According to the official information, in the meantime, all flights from T1 have been relocated to Terminal 2 (T2) and Terminal 3 (T3), which will continue to operate as usual.

A canopy at the old departure courtyard of Terminal 1 partially collapsed amid heavy rains which resulted in the death of a person on June 28. The accident also caused injuries to at least six people. 

After the incident, the civil aviation ministry informed that structural engineers from IIT Delhi would immediately assess the partial collapse of the canopy.

The official stated that the technical study of Terminal 1 (T1) is expected to take about a month. Once the findings are available, a decision will be made regarding the resumption of operations at T1.

The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), operated by a GMR Group-led consortium DIAL, has three terminals—T1, T2, and T3—and handles around 1,400 flight movements daily. T1 was primarily used for domestic flight operations by IndiGo and SpiceJet.

The official mentioned that 72 IndiGo flights have been relocated from T1 to T2, and 17 flights have been moved to T3. All these flights are currently operational.

Two informed sources indicated that it may take a few months before operations can resume at Terminal 1 (T1). 

In response to detailed queries about T1, DIAL stated that its cross-functional teams are actively evaluating the situation and engaging with various stakeholders to ensure passenger safety
