New aircraft parking facility at Vadodara airport

Vadodara: The Vadodara airport is all set to put in place a night parking base.
According to Airport Authority of India (AAI), parking facilities will be provided for eight airlines here. The parking will be meant especially for aircraft landing at night.
While Vadodara airport does not have any scheduled flight at night, flights with diversion can make a halt here once the night parking base is set up.
“There is a lot of congestion in Mumbai airport due to which it was felt that a night parking facility was needed here,” said Vadodara’s AAI director Amit Bajpayee.
This means that Vadodara airport will be operating 24 hours.
The facility will help particularly in times when Mumbai or Delhi bound planes have to divert their flight at night.
