Flying private from DEL.
Indira Gandhi International (GA terminal) (VIDP) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Delhi.
Delhi's general aviation terminal, opened in 2020 as India's first, has its own customs and immigration area and 57 parking bays reserved for private aircraft.
Every non-scheduled flight needs an arrival or departure clearance number from the airport operations centre, and international non-scheduled flights also need night parking approval, so both should be secured before the trip.
Other options in Delhi include Safdarjung Airport (VIDD). Flights are operated by DGCA-licensed NSOP operators.
