Delhi rains: Airlines cancel flights from Terminal 1 due to roof collapse incident at Delhi Airport

IndiGo and SpiceJet on Friday cancelled all flights from Terminal 1 following a roof collapse incident at the Delhi Airport.

Due to bad weather (heavy rains), SpiceJet flights have been cancelled as Terminal 1 of Delhi Airport will remain partially closed for operations until further notice, the airline said in a statement.

"Due to heavy rain since early this morning, a portion of the canopy at the old departure forecourt of Delhi airport's Terminal-1 collapsed around 5 am. There are injuries reported and emergency personnel are working to provide all necessary assistance and medical aid to those affected," a DIAL spokesperson said in a statement.


All departures from Terminal 1 are temporarily suspended, and check-in counters are also closed.

The Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), a consortium led by GMR Group, is the operator of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in the national capital.

Terminal-1 has only domestic flight operations. The IGIA airport has three terminals -- T1, T2 and T3.
