The flight operations at Delhi airport's Terminal 2 (T2) will be stopped from Monday midnight, the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has said. The decision has been taken due to a drastic fall in the passenger traffic amid the Covid-19 pandemic, official said.
DIAL said the move will help airlines and the airport in better management of their staff during the pandemic.

All the operations will be shifted to Terminal 3 (T3), said DIAL, adding that the two airlines - GoAir and IndiGo - which operate from T2 have been asked to shift to T3.

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the aviation sector badly. During the last few weeks, the number of domestic air passengers per day have come down from more than 2.2 lakh to around 75,000, the Hindustan Times has reported.
