As many as 14 projects, cumulatively exceeding Rs 600 crore, have been launched to transform various facets of the airport to enhance efficiency and overall passenger experience, an official said. "These projects collectively aim to elevate the infrastructure of Jaipur Airport, ensuring it meets international benchmarks and provides an enhanced travel experience," he said. Under the plan, Terminal 2 is being expanded, which, he said, is a crucial component of the infrastructure development plan. Jaipur International Airport Ltd (JIAL) is a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited. "The 15,000 sq mt of expansion will enhance the overall capacity of the existing terminal. Currently, the terminal has 39 check-in counters with 24 new counters planned to be added during the expansion. This will bring the total number of check-in counters to 63, significantly reducing passenger wait times," he added. In addition to the new check-in counters, the airport is also introducing eight additional Self-Baggage Drop (SBD) counters. "The security screening process will also be enhanced with the addition of nine new X-ray Baggage Inspection System (XBIS) machines, which will double this number to 18. Automotive Tray Retrieval System will be another unique feature of this extension. This increase will enable fast and thorough screening of other baggage," he said. Boarding gates will increase from six to ten. Similarly, two new entry gates will be added, taking the total number to six. The installation of two new aerobridges on the second floor of T2 will facilitate easier boarding and deboarding of passengers and will reduce the turnaround time. The official said that the plan includes the development of a 6,000 sq mts new forecourt area in the porch area. "The construction of the forecourt is designed to improve the overall accessibility and convenience for passengers arriving at or departing from the airport. The area will have over 11 retail counters and other public utility spaces," he said. Over 40,000 sq mts of landscaped area will have aesthetically carved pedestrian walkways, lawns and green area comprising seasonal flowers. Upgradation of the apron at T-11 would enable the accommodation of more aircraft and improve operational efficiency. Extension of the canopy at T-2 to provide better protection from the elements and improve passenger comfort, he added.

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.
