Two new approach flyovers, which promise to deliver a hassle-free and efficient transit experience at Delhi Airport, were unveiled by the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL).

The flyovers, namely the Aerocity Flyover and the Parallel Access Road flyover, have been designed to alleviate the traffic congestion plaguing travellers to and from the airport.

The Aerocity Flyover, a four-lane one-way structure, is positioned at the Aerocity metro station junction, effectively slashing travel times between Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 3 (T3) of the airport. This flyover stretches from the front of Andaz Hotel, Aerocity (West side) to the Central Spine road, stopping just short of the Eastern Cross Taxiway.

On the other hand, the Parallel Access Road (PAR) Flyover is part of a dedicated corridor featuring two lanes in both directions exclusively designated for Cargo Terminal traffic.

Officials said this corridor, equipped with a flyway adjacent to NH8, begins near Hanuman temple and concludes its journey near Andaz Hotel. The goal of the PAR Flyover is to segregate heavy vehicular traffic from passenger vehicles, thereby decongesting the approach road.

Collectively, with a total length of 800 metres for the Aerocity Flyover and 600 metres for the PAR Flyover, these additions will not only streamline transit between the three terminals but also significantly reduce movement of heavy vehicles on the airport approach road, said officials.

I Prabhakara Rao, Deputy Group Managing Director of GMR Group, which operates and manages the airport, said: “For us, passenger experience begins even before a traveller sets foot in the Delhi Airport. With this in mind, the two new flyovers have been constructed.”
