The G20 Summit will be held in New Delhi on September 9 and 10. The airport, however, said that the cancellation is not due to paucity of parking space for aircraft and there will be no impact on international flights.

“We take immense pride in India’s role as the host of the G20 Summit 2023. Current news on cancellations of flight has no linkage to parking of aircraft. We have already provided the required parking. Decision on cancellations of flights have been taken by airlines possibly in light of traffic restrictions due to G20 summit.
