According to sources, this arrangement has been made to ensure a smooth transition of Airports Authority of India (AAI) offices and airline counters from the existing terminal to the new facility. Patna airport director, Krishna Mohan Nehra, said on Tuesday after the inauguration they require two-three days to organise the new premises before initiating flight operations and the movement of flyers. He said, "We have done preliminary checks, but there are still a couple of formalities that need to be tackled. With the commencement of flight operations from the new terminal, some more aircraft will be added to the existing routes. Presently, the airport is operating 90 flights a day, including 45 arrivals and 45 departures." He said no additional airlines have expressed interest to fly from the airport, and also there are no proposals for international flight operations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The new building, which is spread over 65,155 square metres, can handle 75 arrivals and 75 departures per day and the passenger handling capacity will also increase from 25 lakh per annum to 1 crore annually.
