Delhi:  In a move to enhance commuter convenience, Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has partnered up with Flix Bus to launch a 24x7 luxury bus service connecting Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi to Noida and Greater Noida. This initiative aims to provide a reliable and convenient alternative to public transport for passengers travelling to and from Noida and Greater Noida.

In addition to this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated two major road projects in Delhi - the Urban Extension Road (UER-II) and the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway, aiming to reduce travel time to the airport to 20 minutes.
