Delhi's IGIA Becomes 1st Airport in India with Four Runways & an Elevated Cross Taxiway
Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) achieved a significant milestone as it became India's first airport to have four runways. The Civil Aviation Minister, Jyotiraditya Scindia, inaugurated the airport's fourth runway, increasing its throughput capacity from approximately 1400-1500 air traffic movements per day to almost 2000 air traffic movements per day. The addition of the fourth runway will allow the airport to serve more than 109 million passengers annually.
The inauguration of the fourth runway and the first eastern cross taxiway (ECT) marked a historic landmark day for Indian civil aviation. The ECT connects the Northern and Southern parts of the airfield, reducing taxi time for aircraft and facilitating passengers' deplaning within 12 minutes of landing. This operational efficiency will contribute to a reduction of almost 55,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
