Delhi airport is better known as Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). It is one of the major gateways to India and connects North India to the rest of the world. New Delhi airport caters to both international and domestic travelers. The airport is the busiest in India in terms of daily flight operations and second busiest in terms of passenger volume. It was operated by the Indian Air force in the past and was a part of the Palam Airport, before its transfer to the Airport Authority of India. The management of the airport was passed on to Delhi International Airport Limited, a joint venture led by GMR group, in 2006. |

History : |
| |
Indira Gandhi International Airport came into being as Palam Airport, around World War II. After the independence of India, it came to serve as an Air Force Station for the Indian Air Force, with the passenger operations being carried out from Safdarjung Airport. It was only in 1962 that the passenger operations were shifted to Palam, primarily because of an increase in air traffic. At that time, it had a peak capacity of around 1300 passengers per hour. Later, in the 1970s, an additional terminal was added to the airport, which had spread over an area nearly four times that of the old Palam terminal. In 1986, yet another terminal - Terminal 2, was added and the airport was also renamed as Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. |

The Domestic Airport has four terminals, i.e. Terminal 1A, 1B, 1C & 1D. Terminal 1A caters to domestic flights of Go Air, Indian Airlines and Air India Regional. Flights of other scheduled private airlines viz. IndiGo, Jet Airways, JetLite, Kingfisher Airline, Kingfisher Red and SpiceJet, operate from terminal 1D, along with other executive aircraft/ private aviation activities. Since Terminal 1D came into operation, 1B has been closed. As for Terminal 1C, it caters to the arrivals of the airlines operating from Terminal 1A & 1D. The International Terminal (Terminal 2) caters to the airlines flying to major cities across the world. The airport also has a cargo terminal to handle cargo operations and a separate Hajj terminal for catering to the rush during Hajj. |
