New Delhi: As part of its measures to tackle fog-related problems, the Delhi International Airport Private Limited (DIAL) will ensure that passengers stranded due to flight delays are served food and beverages in special, heated tents. However, the food will be only for ticket holders.
DIAL has, however, ensured that visitors, too, are not left out in the cold.
A 24-hour restaurant – ‘Balaji Express’ – was recently opened just outside terminal 1-B at the Delhi Airport. The restaurant specializes in south Indian delicacies but also offers north Indian favourites and other cuisine. DIAL had awarded the contract to PK Hospitality Services to run the restaurant.
Airport officials said that usually a lot of people come to just see off passengers and are not provided any such facility. Even many of the snack bars and lounges inside the airport are not accessible to visitors. As the new restaurant will open 24 hours, they can now have a hearty meal without even entering the terminal.
As for passengers, DIAL will be putting up ‘portacabins’ facing the terminal and has cleared a lot of area in front of 1-B for that purpose.
