Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport (IATA: DEL, ICAO: VIDP), located in the city of Delhi, India is one of India's main domestic and international gateways. The airport has been named after former prime minister Indira Gandhi, the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru. Earlier known as Palam airport, it was renamed IGI airport with the inauguration of a new international building (Terminal 2) on 2 May 1986. The older Palam airport (Terminal 1) is exclusively used for domestic operations. There is also a separate Technical Area for the use of VVIP movements.
The rated capacity of IGI airport's domestic area is said to be 8.4 million passengers per annum whereas the actual throughput last year was 10.5 million, an excess of 25%. The airport handled around 13 million passengers in 2005. Delhi Airport has two non-parallel runways: the main runway 10-28 (12,500 ft) and an auxiliary runway 09-27 (9,229 ft). Runway 10-28 is one of the few runways in Asia equipped with CAT III-B Instrument Landing System. On 31 March 2006, IGI became the first Indian airport to operate two runways simultaneously following a test run involving a SpiceJet plane landing and a Jet Airways plane taking off at the same time. As there is an Indian Air Force Base (Hindon) in the flight path of Delhi airport it is necessary for civilian aircraft to make a 5 minute detour to avoid over-flying the military facility.

If good means does it work? Yes
Is it a modern comfortable airport for the capital of such a wonderful country? NO
It has a worn and tired appearance. The security/passenger screening is a joke. Wide open for those who would harm the innocent.
Lacking most basic ammenities that can be found in most major capitals.
