Delhi Airport Public Transport
Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi Airport) is the unique airport
that serves the City of New Delhi. There are two main terminals in Delhi
Airport: T1 (C and D) that operates domestic flights from Low Cost carriers,
and T3, the main terminal, operating Domestic Flights and all International
Flights. Both terminals are connected by a shuttle bus.
Inter Terminal Shuttle Bus
There is a free shuttle bus that connects both terminals. The shuttle bus
operates every 20 minutes between T1 and T3. The shuttle bus is available
for those passengers arrived by a particular flight on T1 having an onward
connection from the next terminal. The bus is operated by DIAL.
