Flights unaffected at Delhi airport
July 31, 2012  14:48
The good news is that flight operations at the Delhi airport remained unaffected despite the grid failure. Immediately after electricity supply stopped at 1:04 pm, all essential services were moved to diesel-run back-up power generation system.

Flight operations at IGIA are absolutely normal and there are no cancellations or delays. The entire power load of the airport was restored within 15 to 60 seconds.

The total installed back-up capacity at IGIA is 59.5 MW. This capacity is well in excess of actual loads.
