The airline has decided to shift 22 flights serving these seven sectors from Terminal 1 (T1) to T2 while all the remaining domestic flights will continue to operate from T1.
Passengers travelling with SpiceJet from Delhi to seven sectors including Ahmedabad, Patna, Pune and Goa will have to board from Terminal 2 of IGI Airport from March 25 onwards. The airline has decided to shift 22 flights serving these seven sectors from Terminal 1 (T1) to T2 while all the remaining domestic flights will continue to operate from T1.
The three other sectors are Kochi, Surat and Gorakhpur.
The shifting of operations is to enable expansion work in T1 and strengthening of infrastructure. "SpiceJet will shift 22 flights serving seven domestic sectors from Terminal 1 (T1) of the Indira Gandhi International airport to Terminal 2 (T2) with effect from March 25, 2018. All remaining domestic flights will continue to operate from Terminal 1," the airline said in a statement on Thursday.
The announcement comes as GoAir has completely shifted to the new revamped terminal and IndiGo also deciding to partially shift operations to the new terminal. For easier identification of passengers and to facilitate smooth operation, SpiceJet has programmed all the new flights operating to and from T2 with a four-digit flight number starting with number 8', such as SG 8913.
The statement further added that bus services would be provided between the terminals to ferry the transit passengers and for those who have arrived at the wrong terminal.
"All communication mediums have been activated to keep the passengers travelling from T2 informed about the change of terminal," the statement said.
Domestic carriers IndiGo and GoAir cancelled around 50 flights on Wednesday as almost one-third of their A320 Neo aircraft fleet remained grounded for the third day following a safety directive by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). It was 5:30 am on Monday when an IndiGo fight from Ahmadabad to Lucknow, an A320, was grounded after the pilots declared full emergency onboard. There were 186 passengers and crew on the plane that had reported its failure of engine number two, midair. Seven departures were delayed as operations had to be put on halt because of the full emergency landing at Ahmadabad.
