It is located at Raja Sansi, 11 km (6.8 mi) northwest from the city centre.

[citation needed] In January 1982, Air India started a flight from Bombay to Birmingham that stopped in Delhi, Amritsar and Moscow.

The service aboard Boeing 707s linked the large North Indian population in the West Midlands to its homeland.

[16] In October 2010, the carrier replaced the route with a direct flight from its Delhi hub to Toronto.

[citation needed] British Midland International (BMI) launched a flight to London-Heathrow via Almaty in October 2011.

The terminal is made with built-in glass and steel and is equipped with an in-line X-ray baggage inspection and conveyor system, Flight Information Display System (FIDS), Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE), and CCTV surveillance, which were inaugurated on 25 February 2009, with an area of approximately 40,175 square metres (432,440 sq ft), marking an improvement over the earlier 12,770-square-metre (137,500 sq ft) facility.

It was installed in 2016–17, when the runway underwent a mass upgrade, at a cost of ₹ 150 crore, and in October 2017, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) issued low visibility procedures (LVP), thus allowing landing at within 50 m visual range.

[27][28][29][30] Before the installation of CAT III ILS, CAT II ILS was installed in December 2011 and reduced the visibility requirement for an aircraft landing at the airport on Runway 34, from the existing 650 metres to 350 metres, thus benefiting airlines in increased safety and avoiding diversions to other airports, resulting in better operational and environmental efficiencies.

[citation needed] Along with this, an additional ₹ 60 crore were invested for the construction of another apron, taxiways and upgrading of the terminal, which are now completed.

[46] This may result in reduction in passenger growth on this route, but will give better road connectivity between the city and the National Capital.
