New terminal ready for operations at Vizag airport

VISAKHAPATNAM: The new terminal building constructed by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) at the Visakhapatnam international airport is ready for operations. The construction was delayed due to the pandemic conditions.

The new building was constructed at a cost of 60 crore. Presently, cleaning works are going on in the terminal building. The authorities would shift the customs and immigration equipment to the new terminal building soon. The new building is spacious and can accommodate more than double the number of passengers compared to the existing building. It would also help in smooth flow of passengers both in domestic and international terminals.

Vizag airport handled a peak of 2.85 million passengers in the financial year 2018-19. The airport authorities and the advisory committee members felt that this peak load figure will be crossed very soon.
