Patna: Flyers will have to wait a little longer for the new swanky terminal building at
Jayprakash Narayan International Airport
, as its inauguration is now expected to take place in May, instead of previously scheduled April 24.
A senior official of the Patna airport said the construction of the new terminal was almost 99% complete. "Simultaneously, we have already initiated the process for Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) approval, which is crucial for the operation of the new airport terminal. There is a bit of constraint as the existing building will be part of the operational area, so the trial run will not take place. Once the new building is operational, there will be no entry from the existing building, which will be demolished to make way for four new parking bays for aircraft," he said.
Spread over 65,155sqm, the new terminal building will have the capacity to accommodate 4,500 passengers at peak operational hours. The two-storey building will have arrival area on ground floor and departure lounge on first floor. It has a corridor connected to a G+5 multilevel car parking, which has a commercial floor on the top.
The building is equipped with 54 check-in counters, five passenger boarding bridges, five conveyor belts and eight in-line XBIS machines, which allow for quick transit of passengers inside terminals and immigration counters.

Adorned with Madhubani paintings, the interior of the building will display beautifully crafted murals on Buddhist heritage, including the Bodhi tree, Gautam Buddha and Bodhi temple, and the cradle of civilization. Life-size wall paintings related to Chhath and Takhat Shri Harimandir Ji Patna Sahib Gurdwara will make the terminal more attractive. The building design is inspired by the square forms of Nalanda University ruins.
Along with the terminal building, the parking, which has a capacity for 750 cars, will also become operational. The city airport has already got new amenities like Air Traffic Control Tower-cum-technical block, cargo complex, fire station, flying club, VIP lounge, residential buildings and state hangar.
According to the airport officials, Airports Authority of India chairman Bipin Kumar will inspect the ongoing work at the new terminal building on Tuesday.
