Delhi Airport Terminal 2 reopen October 26th with modern upgrades
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.
