Terminal 2 at airport in Delhi to restart ops

The Delhi airport's Terminal 2, which was once buzzed with international services and non-functional for past seven years, will start full-scale operations again on Saturday night with a domestic flight touching down from Ranchi.

The Terminal 2 went into oblivion in 2010 when Terminal 3 became operational; international services and some of the domestic flights were shifted to the new one.

The operationalisation of the Terminal comes at a time the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DAIL) is going ahead with expansion plans for the existing Terminal 1.

The Terminal 2 will be in use for another 3-4 years when the expansion work will be in progress.

Rome-Delhi direct flight

Italy's national carrier Alitalia will resume its daily direct flight services between Rome and New Delhi on Sunday, after a nine-year break. Alitalia will relaunch the direct flight just a day before Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
