For this reason, “Elevated and At-Grade Automated People Mover (APM) System” will be implemented here to facilitate movement in the 3 terminals.
This project will be 7.7 km long
If reports are true, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has issued a tender to build this project. This new metro route will stop at four stops: T2/3, T1, Aerocity and Cargo City. The project will be 7.7 km long and will also eliminate dependence on DTC buses for terminal transfers.
At present, one has to use DTC buses to go from one terminal to another at Delhi Airport. This takes a lot of time. But now with the introduction of Air Train, this journey will be completed in just a few minutes.
What is an air train?
Air train is not a new thing, it has already been started in many other countries. And now it will be started in India too. Air train is usually free for passengers around the world, which runs between terminals.

Why is there a need to run air train at Delhi airport?
Delhi Airport is the busiest airport in the country and more than 7 crore passengers travel here every year. This number may increase further in the next few months. In such a situation, this system is being started for better connectivity between the terminals. Let us tell you, Terminal 1, 2 and 3 are at some distance from each other and currently passengers travel between the terminals by road, which takes a lot of time. Therefore, it has been decided to start air train as soon as possible. (Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
