Delhi is gearing up for the 18th BRICS Summit on 12-13 September, with airspace, rail and road restrictions announced across the capital. More than 30 special flights are expected, while train services and traffic movement will also face changes during the summit.
As India prepares to host the 18th BRICS Summit from September 12-13, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has announced airspace restrictions around Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) from September 11-13. Non-scheduled flights are barred from IGI's airspace between 7 am and 11 pm during this period, while only scheduled airline services and flights carrying summit dignitaries will be permitted.
The restrictions are part of heightened security measures to ensure the safety of visiting world leaders and manage traffic during the summit events. Train services at New Delhi Railway Station may also experience changes, with cancellations, diversions, and rescheduling of trains from September 11-13. Commuters are advised to use the Delhi Metro for airport access and plan their journeys in advance due to traffic restrictions from 2 pm to 8:30 pm on September 11-13.
Special flights carrying foreign dignitaries and delegations will also be allowed, provided their flight schedules are cleared in advance by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
