"In order to make flight landings with dignitaries seamless, on the flights carrying the leaders (which includes Prime Ministers, Presidents) would be allowed to land at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, on a first come first served basis. While additional aircraft, including stand-by aircraft, logistics flights, and flights with additional delegates and security staff can be diverted to other nearby airports," according to a source.

Since the airport is located about 30 minutes from the meeting venue, delegates and their teams have been advised to arrive in New Delhi latest by September 8th evening and stay until September 10th.

Since some leaders will be coming in with their own security, there is an advisory that has been issued for those carrying weapons and communication equipment.
