Fourteen new aircraft stands have become operational at Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport here, said its operator DIAL on Wednesday.
These new stands would be able to handle Code C aircraft such as A320 and B737 which have a wingspan measuring between 24 meters and 36 meters, a statement issued by the GMR group-led Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) noted.
The apron or the tarmac area of Terminal 1 is being expanded by DIAL currently.
Under the second phase of the expansion, the aforementioned 14 stands have been constructed, the DIAL said. There will be one more phase of the expansion.
