Delhi airport’s third runway, Runway 11R/29L, will reopen on September 20 after seven months of rehabilitation and receipt of regulatory approvals.
Delhi International Airport (IGIA) is set to reopen its third runway, Runway 11R/29L, on September 20, following a seven-month closure for repairs and rehabilitation. The Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), a GMR Aero-led consortium, announced that the runway will be operational after completing a comprehensive rehabilitation programme and receiving all necessary regulatory approvals.
The project, which began in February 2026, involved strengthening and upgrading works to enhance operational safety, efficiency, resilience, and long-term capacity at one of India’s busiest aviation gateways. The upgraded runway is now ready for use after undergoing all required inspections, validations, and regulatory clearances.
