Two aerobridges set for launch at Vizag airport

Visakhapatnam: After two long years, the Vizag airport is all set to get two aerobridges in the new terminal complex from next month, while a few international flights are also in the pipeline.
Sources said the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has requisitioned two new aerobridges at an estimated cost of Rs 4 crore for the convenience of passengers. The airport authorities have requested Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to grant permission to install the aero bridges. "We are expecting the clearance from DGCA soon and once we get the green signal, passengers can enter the aircraft directly from the aero bridges," airport traffic controller C Pattabhi said.
In all, 16 flights are operated daily from the airport, currently under the control of Indian Navy. Aviation experts said the Vizag airport would do well have all the ultra modern facilities in place what with the passenger rush swelling with each passing year.
