Measures to ease terminal transitions
- Inter-terminal transfers: The airline has made special arrangements for a dedicated shuttle service every 10 minutes. The shuttle services will connect Terminals 1, 2, and 3, ensuring smooth transfers for passengers seeking to catch the connecting flights.
- Baggage handling: If a passenger is moving between terminals, their checked baggage will get transferred airside. Thus, there is no need to collect and recheck it.
- Additional ground staff: Passengers are likely to see additional ground staff in distinct uniforms at each terminal to guide them. The airport authorities are likely to offer buggy services as well as special assistance options for those passengers who need mobility support.
- Passenger Notifications: Air India and Air India Express will proactively notify all guests with bookings for flights relocating to Terminal 2 or Terminal 1 (for Air India Express) via their registered contact details. Passengers are advised to verify their terminal details through their booking confirmation, SMS or email alerts, or by visiting the Air India website.
