Ahmedabad, March 27: Air India has announced the relocation of all its domestic flights at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport from Terminal-1 to Terminal-2. This change will take effect on March 29.
A total of 210 weekly domestic flights operated by Air India from Ahmedabad will now exclusively operate from Terminal-2. The airline’s international flights have already been utilizing Terminal-2. Following this shift, all Air India flights—both domestic and international—will be managed from a single terminal.
The airline stated that this transition is part of its initiative to enhance the airport experience for passengers. Terminal-2 spans 49,000 square meters and boasts state-of-the-art facilities. It includes 52 check-in counters, self-baggage drop kiosks, DigiYatra kiosks, 17 departure immigration counters, 22 arrival immigration counters, 8 fast-track e-gates, as well as modern retail and food court options.
Air India has begun notifying all passengers booking flights from Ahmedabad about this change via SMS, email, and other communication channels. Travelers are encouraged to verify their terminal before heading to the airport to avoid any last-minute issues.
The Air India Group (comprising Air India and Air India Express) is rapidly transforming the Indian aviation sector. Founded in 1932 by J.R.D. Tata, the group now operates a fleet of over 300 aircraft with more than 30,000 employees, serving 59 domestic and 51 international destinations.
Since Tata Sons’ acquisition in 2022, Air India has been implementing a five-year transformation program called ‘Vihaan AI.’ Under this initiative, the airline has placed an order for 600 new aircraft. The successful merger of AirAsia India and Vistara into Air India Express and Air India is set to take place in 2024. Recently, Air India also launched South Asia’s largest aviation training academy. A new flying school is expected to open in 2026, and construction of a greenfield maintenance base is progressing rapidly. Additionally, the interiors of all older aircraft are being refurbished in phases.
