As of now, only the T3 terminal is handling flight operations. Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) stated that "the T2 terminal will resume operations with IndiGo's 2000-2999 series flights and entire operations of GoAir, and is expecting to witness around 25,000 passenger footfall in the initial phase."
Around 27 counter — 11 for GoAir and 16 for IndiGo — will be available for the passengers of respective flights.
The decision to resume T2 operations comes after the Delhi airport started witnessing gradual growth in passenger footfall post relaxation in lockdown since June this year.
T2 terminal started handling flight operations on October 1, 2020. However, it was closed on May 18, 2021, as the number of flights dropped dramatically due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
