Mail Today reports: Strong winds of change are blowing at the Capital's airport terminals. The Union government wants all passenger flights to operate from Terminal 3 of the Delhi airport.

Currently, both domestic and international flights operate from T3 and 1D is Delhi's solely domestic terminal.

With a view to cutting down on passenger fares, transit time and fuel consumption, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has asked the Delhi airport operator to come up with a concrete plan for synchronising all operations of passenger aircraft at T3.

Mail Today accessed the ministry's letter to the operator, Delhi International Airport Limited.

The aviation ministry has sought an urgent meeting on Thursday with DIAL and other agencies concerned, and also asked the operator to explore the possibility of making 1D a full-fledged cargo terminal.
