Clearing Delhi Airport’s Grounded Aircraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given the significance of the G20 summit and the participation of dignitaries from around the world in crucial discussions on global economic matters, the need for ample parking space for these special aircraft has become a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this demand, the civil aviation ministry is proactively working on resolving the parking space concerns at Delhi Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both security agencies and the MoCA have highlighted the urgency of this matter to ensure smooth operations and logistics during the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a senior government official, the issue has been communicated to various relevant parties, including the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), and other aviation stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another government official stated that around 70-80 aircraft are parked at Delhi airport for engine replacements, technical problems, and bankruptcy cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the grounded aircraft are those belonging to Go First (G8)<\/a>, SpiceJet (SG)<\/a>, Jet Airways (9W)<\/a>, and other private jets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
