We regret the inconvenience caused." An official said the issue related to the baggage belt was there briefly and was resolved.

Now, T1 and T3 are operational at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), operated by DIAL. The airport has four runways, and one of them (Terminal 2) is shut for maintenance work. Only IndiGo and Akasa Air had flights from T2, which was constructed nearly 40 years ago.
The expanded T1 can accommodate 40 million passengers, and T3 can handle 45 million passengers annually. T2 had an annual capacity to handle 15 million passengers.
