In the newly constructed building, the Delhi International Airport Limited has constructed around 100 transit rooms in the premises to facilitate the travellers.u00a0

"Earlier, either the passenger had to leave the airport or had to wait for long hours in the waiting lounge. Now, the rest rooms for such passengers have been constructed to ease their tiring journey," said a DIAL official.
Also, the rooms will have wi-fi connectivity along with other amenities.

"We are planning to provide these rooms on an hourly-basis instead of daily basis. Generally, the gap between the flights is for few hours and if someone wants to stay for a few days, one can easily avail the facility of rooms outside the airport as well," explained the official.

Though charges of the rooms have not been chalked out, the rooms are said to be worked out considering different slabs. Majority of the rooms will be for general commuters and others to be reserved for VIPs.






"The general practice is of providing rooms on a daily basis. In order to get a roomu00a0 in the vicinity of the airport, a passenger had to shell out huge amount of money.

But now with this facility in place, a person will end up spending less and will not have to go outside the airport. It will be all for the covenience of the commuters," said another official.
Mammoth task
