Cannot wait to see this airport when it is fully built. And good to see you at last!

That was a very good video. Was surprised to know how the runway numbers are decided and why in past, cross runways were made at airports. Content and presentation was top notch. However, would still like to point few minor mistakes given below

1. In IGI, Terminal 1A and 1B dont exist anymore. They were demolished in the 2000s to make T1C and T1D. And now only T1C and T1D are being consolidated together to make one big integrated Terminal 1.

2. Regarding the future expansion plans of IGI, you mentioned that T2 will be expanded and T4 will also be made. Thats partly wrong. T2 will actually be demolished and T4 will be made at its place only. T2 is an old terminal and it was shut down after T3 started in 2010. After that it was renovated and opened again for domestic flights only bcoz T1 was going under renovation so some traffic was needed to shift from there and it was shifted to T2. In future, once T1 renovation is complete all flights will shift back to T1 and as per current plans (not approved although), T2 will be demolished and a new T4 will be made at its place. In your video the place you showed where T4 will be made in future, is actually the General Aviation terminal.

3. Regarding the bidding for Noida airport, you mentioned that GMR could have got the bid even if their bid was 10% less. Thats partially correct, as in addition to the above condition, GMR would have to match the highest bid amount.

4. The winning bid of Zurich Airport was Rs. 400.97 per passenger, thus it is publicly available.

Delhi's IGI definitely needs a mass transit system connecting the different terminals

[Just_a_normal_guy]

One major reason is that most Air India flights comes to Delhi instead Mumbai from internation destinations which also increase traffic to delhi airport. Air India should fly directly to other major airports like Amdavad, Hyderabad, Bangalore for major international destinations few day a week instead of Delhi.

Try to add subtitles in English, so that the reach from South Indians is more.
