If you’re planning to fly Air India or Air India Express from Delhi Airport after October 26, 2025, here’s important information for you. Major changes are underway to the terminals at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), making it crucial for travelers to know their flight’s terminal in advance.
Air India has announced that it will operate 60 of its 180 domestic flights from Terminal 2 (T2), while Air India Express will now operate all of its domestic flights from Terminal 1 (T1). This change is due to ongoing expansion work at Terminal 3 (T3) to increase international passenger capacity.
According to Air India, these works will result in limited space available for domestic flights at T3, forcing some flights to be relocated to other terminals. This new arrangement will be effective from October 26, 2025.
However, all international Air India and Air India Express flights will continue to operate from T3 as before.
How to identify flights from T2? Domestic flights departing from or landing in T2 will now have four-digit flight numbers starting with ‘1’ (e.g., AI1737, AI1787). This will make it easier for passengers to identify the terminal.
Inter-Terminal Transfer Facility
Passengers with boarding passes for connecting flights will be able to transfer between T1, T2, and T3. This service will apply to Air India, Air India Express, and codeshare connections. Air India has also clarified that passengers with flights originating from T3 will receive a reminder regarding their terminal.
Passengers who check in online for AI1XXX series flights will be notified separately that their flight will depart from T2. Therefore, passengers are advised to confirm their terminal prior to travel to avoid any inconvenience.
