DIAL submits master plan for modernisation of IGI airport


New Delhi, Oct 4 (UNI)


Delhi International Airport Private Limited (DIAL), a public private partnership initiative mandated to operate, manage and develop the Delhi airport, has submitted its master plan to the ministry of civil aviation and to the Airports Authority of India (AAI).


The plan includes in detail DIAL’s proposal to modernise the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport into a world-class structure.


DIAL envisions the construction of a new integrated passenger terminal to cater to both domestic and international traffic. The terminal will be ready before the Commonwealth Games in 2010.


In its first phase, the new terminal will be capable of handling more than 35 million passengers per annum. Prior to that, a new runway with Airbus A380 compatibility will be completed by March 2008 to complement the existing two runways.


‘‘For DIAL, the master plan is the first step towards the realisation of a dream -- the dream to build an airport that showcases India to the world,’’ said a senior official.


‘‘DIAL is committed to developing infrastructure projects that help in the country’s progress to take its righteous place as one of the leading economies of the world.’’


The master plan by Mott McDonald, a leading management, engineering and development consultancy based in Britain, and HOK (a world renowned airport architects) envisages modern airport complete with integrated terminal and runways.


DIAL is a joint venture company consisting of GMR group, the AAI, Fraport, Eraman Malaysia and India Development Fund.

Hi guys,

recently i flew into DEL from LKO and took alot of shots of the Delhi airport. The construction seems to be in full swing at the moment. Levelling of the land just parrallel to the main runway along the domestic terminal sides seems to be in progress.

At the same time the place where our plane was parked i could clearly see the the construction of the new remote parking stands in full swing. I know space is not a constraint at all in DEL bt its gr88 to see the way IGIA is being developed.

The cosmetic changes which they have done to the arrivals area are definately pleasing to the eye. This time i wasnt able to spot any flies around the potted plants. Offcourse these things are peanuts compared to the airports in other asian countries bt then something is always better than nothing. The chairs are nice.

Baggage retrieval took some time as 2 belts were closed down for repairs but in the end they finally came bt it was partially our fault too as we had checked in first at the Amausi Airport.

I guess the changes to the current terminals will be small and cosmetic. No need for big changes when a new terminal is proposed.


I hope they do not dissapoint in that. I have high hopes. What do you guys think of the scale of the new terminal, do you guys think sumthink like the KLIA or HKG will be built? Or will it be at a much smaller scale. Well the opening capacity of the new terminal is stated to be close to what Suvarnabhumi is rated at now. What do you guys think?


Cant wait to see the masterplan


Cheers

http://business-standard.com/economy/storypage.php?tab=r&autono=261100&subLeft=1&leftnm=3Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has got a aerodrome licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for operating Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.

“The aerodrome licence authorises DIAL to operate the IGI Airport under the provisions of the Aircraft Act 1934 and Aircraft Rules 1937,” the company said in a statement.

DIAL had recently submitted a master plan for modernisingthe Delhi airport to the ministry of civil aviation and the Airports Authority of India, it added.

The master plan envisioned construction of a new integrated passenger terminal to cater to both domestic and international traffic. This terminal would be ready before the Commonwealth Games in 2010, the statement said.

Simultaneously, DIAL has implemented a number of steps to improve the existing airport infrastructure, including the duration of simultaneous runway operations, which has been increased along with the addition of several new rapid exit taxi-ways thereby reducing the waiting time for aircraft on the ground and in air.

The company said it had added new X-ray machines inside passenger terminals. New passenger seating had also been introduced at the terminals, it said.

DIAL is the joint venture company consisting of Airports Authority of India, the GMR Group, Fraport, Eraman Malaysia and India Development Fund that has been mandated to operate, maintain, develop, design, construct, finance, upgrade and modernise the Delhi airport.

change even though superficial, sends across a positive feeling.  Agree or not, but websites these days are the face of the company.  What remains to be seen is whether these guys are simply interested in make-up or plan to do internal cleansing as well.

DIAL submits plan for Delhi airport
New site will have an integrated terminal and facility to park 300 aircraft

GMR-led Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) on Monday said their master plan for the new airport will have one integrated terminal building, four parallel runways, dedicated road and metro connectivity, and the facility to park 300 aircraft.

Not only will the new terminal building be able to handle 35 million passengers a year, the number of parking slots will be more than tripled.

At present, the domestic terminal has 50 aircraft parking slots besides 16 parking slots for the smaller (mostly private) aircraft. The international terminal has 27 parking slots, will six parking slots provided specially for the cargo planes. Also, The F9 runway, which will be able to accommodate Airbus A-380 aircraft, will be completed by mid 2008.

According to the master plan, the U-shaped integrated terminal building will house both the international and domestic terminals and have 50 dedicated gates, which will be allotted to the airline companies depending upon their traffic. The cargo terminal will be based on the northern-side of the main terminal buildings. The four-storey building will have a Metro rail link that will run parallel to the runways and will connect the building at its center. The approach-way would also be widened to a six-laned road to ensure smooth movement of the traffic.

The GMR-led consortium has appointed Mott MacDonald Group as the technical advisor for revamp of the Delhi airport at a cost of Rs 60 crore. Mott MacDonald had, in turn, appointed HOK International, to design the airport. DIAL had submitted its master plan to the civil aviation ministry for their approval in the first week of this month. It is a joint venture company, consisting of GMR Group, AAI, Fraport, Eraman Malaysia and India Development Fund.

We got some troubles in master plan ....

http://www.indianexpress.com/story/15922.html

The masterplan for modernising and restructuring the Delhi airport has hit a roadblock with the passenger traffic growth projections made by the GMR Fraport-led consortium falling way short of government estimates, both till 2010 Commonwealth Games and over 20 years.

Having already pulled up the consortium over its passenger traffic estimates for 2010, the Civil Aviation Ministry is now seeking major “corrections” in the proposed figures before freezing the masterplan.

A top official told The Indian Express that the ministry has told the builders that their figure of 28 million passengers by 2010 is unacceptable and asked them to ensure that infrastructure by that year should be able to cater to 35 million people.

Asked by the ministry to evaluate the proposals made in the masterplan submitted on September 29, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has found huge gaps in the passenger forecasts made by the joint-venture and government during various phases of the new airport’s development.

Sources said AAI has told the ministry that in a 2026 scenario, the developer’s projection for international passenger traffic is almost a third of the government’s. The GMR-Fraport projections for domestic traffic are around a fourth of AAI’s.

While the company says international passenger traffic will grow to 25.66 million per year by 2026, AAI says the number will touch 72.30 million. Similarly, the developers see the number of domestic passengers rising to 56.94 million per year against AAI’s projection of 221.17 million by 2026.

The AAI also points to many other faults in the plan, including:

• The proposal to shift IA’s maintenance hangars near the taxi track leading to an Air Force facility may not be acceptable to IAF
• No mention of the new ramp to be constructed on the city-side
• No clarity on how passengers will be accommodated during the transition from old construction to the new



But the Good news is that DMRC is really gun ho about the new high speed rail link which would be running between the Airport and New Delhi Rly Station as it has been cleared by the EGOM ( Central Govt), Delhi state govt.

There will be two enroute stops

1 Connaught Place
2 Moti Bagh

Delhi is definately getting better and better as 2010 is approaching
