Delhi IGI Airport’s Terminal 3 chosen as best airport in the country
According to a PTI report, despite the recent confusion and chaos due to delays in flights and baggage clearance, the plush new Terminal 3 (T3) of Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport has been judged as the best airport in the country, according to a new survey titled 'Airlines Preferences Survey' conducted by TripAdvisor.
Air travellers also voted Kingfisher Airlines as the best Indian carrier and Emirates Airline as best international airline.

Dubai-based Emirates Airline emerged as the favourite airline among Indians travelling overseas with over 24 per cent of respondents electing it over Singapore Airlines which notched the second spot as 19 per cent respondents chose it.
Despite its delayed entry in the international arena, Jet Airways secured the third place with 12 per cent of the respondents choosing the home-bred airline for international travel.
Emirates Airline was also judged as the best international airline for ground handling, in-flight services, cabin ambience, comfort, location coverage and overall experience.
