Plan for interim international terminal cancelled; land trouble delays domestic terminal.
'The Indian government is better prepared this time and has reached out to all contenders and not putting all eggs in one basket.'
An Indian Airlines flight that took off from Hyderabad had to make an emergency landing at Indira Gandhi National Airport at New Delhi due to technical problems.
The terminal, built at a cost of Rs 8,996 crore, has four boarding piers with 48 boarding gates and 78 aerobridges.
The AI-111 flight departed from the Delhi airport at around 5.20 pm instead of its scheduled departure time of 2 pm, they said.
Such a disruption will take the clock back by many years - in terms of passengers handled - for these airports, thus raising questions among some of the airport operators over a delay in expansion plans.
