Operational detail for Delhi
Indira Gandhi International Airport Collection Protocol
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) handles all three terminal buildings (T1, T2, T3), with T3 processing most international arrivals. Our collection team positions inside T3 arrivals before the principal exits baggage claim. DEL handles a high volume of government, diplomatic, and senior corporate traffic, and inside-terminal collection from T3's international arrivals zone ensures the principal is met immediately on clearing the secure area rather than navigating the external forecourt.
Aerocity and City Centre Transfer Route
Aerocity's cluster of international hotels adjacent to T3 is the preferred first-night accommodation for principals arriving late or departing early. The standard NH-48 transfer from T3 to Aerocity takes 10 to 15 minutes. Transfers to Lutyens Delhi, Connaught Place, and South Delhi residential areas use the NH-48 flyover approach, with the Airport Metro Express as an alternative for lower-threat profiles. Peak hour congestion on NH-48 can extend city centre transfers to 60 to 90 minutes.
PSARA Delhi State Licensing Framework
Karnataka regulations do not apply; Delhi state PSARA registration governs all secure transfer operators in the capital. Delhi-state registered, PSARA-compliant companies provide all drivers. Individual driver documentation covering PSARA background verification and training certification is provided to clients before each transfer. The PSARA framework requires state-level registration, and Delhi-state PSARA documentation is the correct regulatory standard for all operations in the capital.
Terrorism Awareness and High-Alert Period Protocols
The FCDO rates India's terrorism threat as very likely. For DEL transfers during documented high-alert periods (Republic Day 26 January, Independence Day 15 August, Diwali, and Eid), transfer timing is adjusted where possible to avoid the most concentrated public gathering periods. The transfer route from T3 is pre-planned to avoid large public gathering points on high-alert dates. Operations controller briefings include current terrorism indicators from the FCDO advisory for all Delhi transfers.
Female Principal Transfer Protocol
The FCDO specifically documents sexual assault risk for female foreign nationals visiting India. For female principals, secure DEL transfers include: female driver option where available, inside T3 international arrivals collection with immediate vehicle embarkation, no unplanned stops, continuous operations controller monitoring, and a pre-confirmed direct route to the principal's hotel. Female principals are advised not to use unverified transport and not to accept assistance from unknown individuals in the arrivals area.
Hotel Zone Pre-Advance and Operations Controller
Pre-advance at destination hotels in Aerocity, Lutyens Delhi, and Connaught Place is completed before the principal's flight arrives. The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, ITC Maurya, and Taj Mahal New Delhi are the primary senior corporate and diplomatic hotel properties. An operations controller tracks the T3-to-destination transfer, monitors NH-48 conditions, and provides arrival confirmation to the client's travel team.
