Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi to be the 2nd largest airport terminal in the world.

India can boast of having the second largest airport terminal in the world when the third terminal building at the Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi comes up in 2010.


The terminal building alone will come up on 20 acres of land, with the entire seven-storey structure providing a total space of about 5,20,000 square metres and having a capacity of handling 34 million passengers a year.

The Terminal-3 or T3 of IGI airport would be the second largest after the new terminal at the Beijing airport, constructed before the recent Olympics, which has a total floor area of 9,86,000 square metres.

IGI Airport's T3, which would be able to handle the largest aircraft Airbus A-380, is expected to be completed by March 2010, ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

About 24,000 workers belonging to 44 contractors are working day and night to build the integrated terminal which will cater to 34 million domestic and international passengers every year.

Also, on the 24X7 job are about 100 foreign experts, who are racing against time to meet the deadline.

The terminal would also have an intelligent car parking facility for 15,000 cars - 6,000 at Multi-level car parking (MLCP) and 9,000 at surface level.
