00:00Delhi Airport Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 or Terminal 3 has become very difficult to go,
00:29because many times people are unable to reach the airport on time due to traffic jams and their flights are missed.
00:37To solve this problem, Delhi International Airport Limited, DIAL, has decided to make an automated people mover, APM, between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
00:52Air train will run at Delhi Airport.
00:55Delhi Airport Operator is planning to start the air train to increase connectivity between DIAL Terminal 1 and the other two terminals.
01:05Indira Gandhi International Airport, IGIA, is the busiest airport in the country, and it has three terminals.
01:16DIAL's target design, construction, development, operation and modernization model is based on an elevated and 8-grade automated people mover, APM, system.
01:29The tender for APM or air train has already been launched.
01:36The APM system is designed to provide reliable, fast and wireless connectivity between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 and 3,
01:46which covers a distance of about 7 km through AeroCity and CargoCity.
01:52It will also improve the passenger convenience, increase the ASQ score and reduce carbon pollution.
02:03It used to take a lot of time to go from one terminal to the other from DTC buses at Delhi Airport.
02:12But now this journey will be completed in a few minutes by air train.
02:19DIAL has launched a tender for this project and is expected to start bidding from October to November.
02:28There will be four stoppages of the air train.
02:32Let me tell you that in many countries of the world, the air train runs at the airport.
02:37Now it is going to start in India as well.
02:42The cost of improving the airport's infrastructure is collected from the landing and parking fees taken from the airlines.
02:51What is an air train?
02:53Air train is generally inexpensive for passengers around the world, which runs between the terminals.
03:00Air train, also known as automated people mover APM, is a mobile train system that is used to connect various terminals and other important locations at airports.
03:17It works in the form of a monorail, which is operated on many international airports for the convenience of passengers.
03:26Its main purpose is to take passengers from one terminal to another terminal quickly and conveniently.
03:35Why is the need for an air train at Delhi Airport?
03:40Delhi Airport is India's busiest airport and more than 7 crore passengers come and go from here every year.
03:48In the next 6 to 8 years, this number is expected to double.
03:54In this case, better connectivity between terminals is very important.
04:00Terminal 1 is located a little away from Terminal 2 and 3 and currently passengers travel between the terminals by road, which takes a lot of time.
04:12Therefore, it has been decided to run an air train.
