AAI all set to beautify Patna airport

Patna: Buoyed up by the positives recorded on the revenue front, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to beautify the city Jayaprakash Narain International Airport here.
It would start from the entry point itself with the authorities having decided to replace the old gate with a new one at a whooping cost of Rs 32 lakh. The design of the gate has already been made and work on it will start as soon as the design gets the final approval from authorities concerned.
There is also a proposal to repair the approach road and a sum of Rs 17 lakh has been earmarked for this purpose. Adding to the looks of new road and gate will be flowers with the AAI having set aside a fund of Rs 10 lakh on the horticulture head. Plans are also afoot to set up a musical fountain near the terminal building. Feasibility report of the fountain installation, however, is still awaited.
AAI Patna director Atul Dikshit said that a proposal was also there to open food joints on the empty spaces outside the main terminal building.
