Did you know that the main airport in New Delhi till 1962 was Safdarjung Airport, which was established during the British Raj as Willingdon Airfield?
Safdarjung Airport started its operations in 1929 being India’s second airport and was used extensively during the World War II.
After 1962 the main airport shifted to Palam Aiport as Safdarjung Airport could not support the new bigger aircraft.
Got anything to add?
