New Delhi: In view of the G20 Summit and enhanced security in the national capital, Air India offered one-time waiver of applicable charges, if the passengers holding tickets from September 7 to 11 wish to change the date of travel or the flight.

“There will be travel restrictions in Delhi between 7th and 11th September 2023. As a measure of goodwill, passengers holding confirmed ticket to fly to or from Delhi on these dates are being offered a one-time waiver of applicable charges, if they wish to change their date of travel or their flight. Only the fare difference for the rescheduled flight, if any, would be applicable,” Air India said on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).

With traffic regulations in place for the G20 summit on September 9 and 10, the traffic police has suggested that passengers planning to travel to the airport during this period are encouraged to utilise Metro services, particularly the Airport Express Line that connects New Delhi Station to Dwarka Sector 21 Station via IGI Airport Terminal-3.
