Delhi Airport Terminal 2 reopening, Delhi Airport Terminal 2 Reopens October 26: The terminal 2 of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport is reopening from the intervening night of October 25-26, 2025.

“Now the 40-year-old legacy Terminal 2 of Delhi has been reimagined and revitalized to serve the modern
aspirations and growing demand. I would like to extend heartiest congratulations and deepest appreciation to DIAL and GMR for executing an efficient, smart, and passenger-centric modernization work for Terminal 2,” the Union Minister said.

Delhi Airport terminal 2 integrates advanced systems and automation to deliver a smarter, faster and more efficient passenger journey:

  • Self-Baggage Drop (SBD) facility — introduced for the first time at T2 — enables passengers to check in bags independently, reducing queues and saving time.
  • Six new Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBBs) ensure quicker, safer aircraft handling with adjustable platforms for enhanced accessibility.
  • Smart design features such as swing doors on the boarding bridge that open and close like a regular hinged door (as opposed to sliding doors) and side-covering cushions (padded surfaces along the sides of the boarding bridge) improve safety and aesthetics.
  • The refurbished terminal features a state-of-the-art Virtual Information Desk where travelers can access live flight information, navigate to boarding gates, explore airport outlets and services, chat with a virtual support assistant, and even generate Wi-Fi coupons — all in one interactive platform.
