IndiGo appeals against Delhi HC order upholding DIAL’s direction to shift operations
IndiGo moved the Delhi HC against a single-judge bench order upholding DIAL direction to it and SpiceJet to 'partially' shift operations from T1 of the IGI Airport to T2
New Delhi: Interglobe Aviation Ltd moved the Delhi high court on Tuesday against an order by a single-judge bench upholding Delhi International Airport Pvt. Ltd’s (DIAL) direction to IndiGo, the airline it operates, and SpiceJet to ‘partially’ shift their operations from Terminal 1 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi to Terminal 2.
On 20 December, 2017 justice A.K.Chawla had dismissed a petition filed by Interglobe challenging DIAL’s directive to the airlines to shift one-third of their operations to Terminal 2. The court, however, gave time to IndiGo and SpiceJet to shift their operations by 15 February, 2018.
DIAL had, through a series of communications in September and October last year, directed IndiGo to operate its flights, to and fro Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru from 4 January, 2018 from Terminal 2. DIAL had issued the direction as a ‘temporary measure’ to enable to renovate and expand the capacity of its Terminal 1.
The appeal is listed for hearing before a bench comprising justices Hima Kohli and Pratibha Rani on 18 January.
