Ahmedabad: The increasing number of air travellers at Ahmedabad airport has not seen a proportionate upgradation in facilities. Inconvenienced passengers have voiced their concerns about the long queues and amount of time they spend at security check in after receiving their boarding pass. According to data released by Airport Authority of India, more than 50 lakh passengers used Ahmedabad airport to travel.
This is an increase of 10 per cent in 2014 compared to the previous year. Keeping aside the queues passengers have to encounter while boarding the aircraft and while entering the airport gate, at times they have had to spend about 15 minutes for security checks at domestic terminal of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International airport. The reason may be few security personnel and fewer X-ray machines to scan hand baggage. The gradual rise in traffic at city airport coupled with taxi and parking issues inside the airport have only added to their woes. Big Boss season 6 fame and model of Kingfisher calendar fame Karishma Kotak recently tweeted, "Ahmedabad airport seems like a train station at#Organised chaos! Make your passengers wait 20mins for security."
