Now, enjoy live classical dances, music, sitar recital and crafts at Delhi airport
NEW DELHI: Waiting for flights, whether delayed or arriving early, will no longer be a boring experience for passengers at Delhi Airport. As part of a new initiative titled 'DEL Vibes', the airport has introduced live Indian classical dance and music performances, along with craft workshops, to engage and entertain travellers. The programme has been introduced across all terminals and aims to offer passengers, both domestic and international, a cultural experience during their travel, said Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) Monday. It features live performances of Indian classical dance forms, including Kathak and Bharatanatyam, as well as instrumental recitals that utilise tar shehnai, santoor, sitar, and sarangi. Travellers can also take part in hands-on craft sessions and artist-led demonstrations, according to DIAL. The performances are scheduled daily between 10 am and 6 pm and include 10–15 minutes of classical dance, 20–25 minutes of live music, and 15-minute curated craft experiences. The sessions are interspersed with filler segments anchored by emcees to engage with passengers and guide them through the programming, said DIAL. According to DIAL, the initiative is also aimed at easing travel-related stress and anxiety, especially for first-time flyers, by providing a calming and engaging environment. The airport described it as an effort to convert transit time into an opportunity for cultural immersion. 'This is our way of giving every traveller a piece of India's cultural richness even before they leave the airport. It reflects our vision not just to manage and operate India's busiest transit hub, but to create memorable experiences for passengers,' said DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar. 'The airport has been actively promoting Indian art and culture by commissioning large-scale installations such as the twelve mudra sculptures at Terminal 3, a 12-foot Surya Namaskar statue as well as murals and paintings by leading contemporary artists,' the airport said in a statement.

Direct flights from Indore to Ghaziabad begin today
Indore: Direct flight services from Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport to Ghaziabad's Hindon Airport are set to commence from Sunday. This new route will provide travellers with an additional, convenient option for reaching not only Ghaziabad but also Noida and New Delhi. With significant pressure on Delhi Airport often leading to longer check-in and check-out times, the Ghaziabad flight is expected to offer a more streamlined travel experience. Hindon Airport is strategically located just 25 to 30 km from both New Delhi and Noida. IndiGo Airlines will operate this direct service, which was announced and open for bookings approximately a month ago. The flight will depart from Ghaziabad in the afternoon, arrive in Indore, and then depart from Indore in the evening for its return journey. Hemendra Singh Jadon, president of Travel Agent Association of India (Madhya Pradesh), stated that the launch of the Ghaziabad flight will significantly benefit passengers travelling to New Delhi and Noida. These travellers will now be able to easily connect via Hindon Airport. This new flight comes as a welcome addition, especially after the recent suspension of one flight each to Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata from Indore Airport.

The direct connectivity to Ghaziabad is thus expected to be highly beneficial for commuters. Currently, flight operations are halted for eight hours nightly due to ongoing runway improvement work. Once completed, the number of flights from Indore is expected to increase further. As per the flight schedule, flight 6E 2558 will depart from Ghaziabad at 2:00 pm and arrive in Indore at 3:15 pm, while flight 6E 2559 will depart from Indore at 3:45 pm and arrive in Ghaziabad at 5:10 pm.
