Elevated taxiway, new runway part of airport upgrade

NEW DELHI: Officials said that ECT – the first-of-its-kind structure for India — will give passengers heading to the airport through the central spine road or the Radisson road a view of the aircraft taxiing above them, which is similar to Singapore’s Changi International airport. DIAL says the 2.1km-long ECT – capable of handling two aircrafts simultaneously — will reduce the time a passenger spends in the aircraft by almost half, bringing it down from 20 to 25 minutes earlier to 10-12 minutes.
