New Delhi: The GMR group, which bagged the project to modernise IGI, has finalised the master plan for the new airport and will submit it to the Centre this week. Once the civil aviation ministry clears the plan, execution will begin early next year.
A new integrated domestic-cum-international airport with a capacity to handle up to 35 million passengers annually near the existing international airport by March 2010 will be built in the Capital.
The Metro links to the new airport would have two stops there like Paris' CDG I and CDG II and the Heathrow stops for its terminal IV and terminals I, II and III.
Prepared by UK-based design consultant Motts Mac-Donald, the master plan proposes a new airport with integrated domestic and international terminals near the existing international airport by March 2010 and an additional runway by 2008.
