As the operator of country’s capital airport, we owe the responsibility of making the airport, user-friendly for tourists. We are indeed thankful to Air India and Jet Airways for partnering with us. We also warmly welcome the latest entrant for this facility -Vistara. Our special thanks to DMRC for providing the infrastructure and giving their undeterred support.”
