According to the spokesperson, standees and cutouts have been positioned featuring information about the summit to provide valuable insights to passengers and measures have been taken to enhance the surrounding environment of the terminals, including installation of artistic designer fountains and sculptures, and decorative flowerpots along the adjacent roads.

On Saturday, DIAL said it has received requests from airlines for cancellation of 80 departing and as many arriving domestic flights during three days from September 8 in connection with the G20 Summit.

"So far, we have received requests for cancellation of approximately 80 departing and 80 arriving domestic flights over three days, which is a mere 6 per cent of the normal domestic operations at Delhi Airport. The restrictions will not cause any impact on international flights.

"While we recognise that approximately 80 arrivals and 80 departures may be affected due to these cancellations, we are committed to working closely with airlines to minimise any inconvenience caused to passengers," it had said in a statement.
