New terminal at Indore airport to open shortly

Mumbai: Delayed thrice in its final phase, the new terminal building at Indore airport is likely to become functional in July 2011, four months behind its revised schedule. “The civil work of the new terminal building will be completed in June," Vivek Upadhyay, Airport Director said. According to a Hindustan Times report, it will take at least another month for the building to become operational. Earlier, the airport authorities had set a deadline for making the building operational by March 2011. However, the slow place of construction work has delayed the project.
Spread over 18,000 square meters, the terminal building will have a capacity of 500 domestic and 200 international travellers at a time. Once the civil work gets completed, tenders will have to be finalised for services such as restaurant, shops, etc, which will take some time. The new terminal will have escalators and a modern baggage handling system.
