Delhi IGI Airport Terminal 3 - First Look

Images from Delhi's upcoming Terminal 3. First flight - 14th July 2010


The ramp that takes vehicles up to the departure level



The departure forecourt - kiosks will come up later here as well



The common check in area - 168 counters in rows A-N



A check in counter too many?



Post check in, entry into International departure immigration. In the far distance lies the entry to domestic departure security clearance



The immigration area. 96 counters (dep + arr combined) in all



Retail / Duty Free area - loads and loads of options coming up





Toward the departure gates. There are 4 such piers with more than 50 boarding gates. 97 travelators all over the airport.



View from the seating area near the gates



The international apron. 3 stands for A380 with triple boarding bridges



The view arriving passengers will get as they enter the terminal from the piers. Immigration counters in blue can be seen.



Bagagge reclaim - 14 belts including 2 for A380 sized loads

Thank you very much. All excellent photos.

The travellator in the middle with departure gates on either side are reminiscent a lot of airports in Singapore, KL etc.

14th July isn't very far. Can't wait for further reviews.

Wow, this looks fantastic. What will happen with the old International Terminal ?

I read somewhere it will be utilised for domestic operations.

Seems will be a great change from all the previous times that have we arrived at Delhi IGI

The new T3Terminal is a combined International+Domestic terminal.

The old terminal wll be used only by Spicejet, GoAir and Indigo for some time and later on will be converted to a Charter Flight terminal. Inauguration on 3 July by PM and operations from 14 July.

looks great, am sure when metro comes to the airport from september, travel to and from the airport will be so much easier

Thanks IndiaMike.com, have been waiting to see these snaps for a long time and looking forward to landing at IGI airport next time..for long have wished for a good airport at Delhi(and elsewhere in India)..i think i'm gonna spend good 2-3 hrs to roam around the airport when i land there next time. I hope the support staff is well trained as well!!

Nice photographs.

Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful pictures.

Does anyone know whetehr jet airways will be using this nice new terminal for international flights?

Once operational, Jet and Kingfisher will most certainly use this new terminal for their international flights.

All international flights to start from T3 from 14 July and domestic flights of Air India, Jet and Kingfisher by end July. Only IndiGo , GoAir and SpiceJet to use the old terminal for some more time .

Looks like a HUGE improvement, I'm a frequent flyer and not too impressed by the current offerings in IGI (domestic terminal is ok though). Thanks for the pics, I'll experience it in real life in about 3 weeks.

was searching for IGI T3 on Google, and found the same on IndiaMike only.
