Delhi airport gets new rapid exit taxiways
Two new rapid exit taxiways were opened on Monday at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport along with the final portion of a parallel taxiway for the secondary runway.
In addition, a new link taxiway was opened between the primary and secondary runways. As a result, the ground movement of aircraft will have greater flexibility and the aircraft will be able to take off without much wait and be able to exit the runway faster clearing the way for the flight behind it.
This will reduce waiting times for passengers, said officials at the GMR-DIAL (Delhi International Airport Private Limited).
The opening of these taxiways will further improve the handling capacity of the aircraft operations, said a DIAL official. This is part of the ongoing up gradation works of the main and the secondary runway to improve ground traffic circulation.
