New terminal at Amausi airport to go for trial run soon

Lucknow: Passengers flying through Amausi Airport may soon be introduced to a new terminal. Sources with the Airport Authorities of India said that the new terminal would undergo a trial run in two weeks' time, before it is finally thrown open to the public.
Amausi Airport director, Atul Dikshit confirmed, "We will conduct a trial run soon. This will be done to check the glitches, if any, before its actual use starts.'' The airlines have been asked to get their systems and other logistics placed at the new terminal building during the trial period.
The move comes close on the heels of the AAI decision to impose user-development charge from the airlines, which eventually pass the burden on to the passengers.
The old terminal building, as a matter of fact, is quite old and lacks facilities as expected by the passengers.
The new terminal would provide a much better, if not state of the art, facilities to the passengers.
Delayed by almost two years, the new facility has turned into a project causing constant embarrassment to the AAI. No wonder it is yet to be decided as to when the facility will be thrown open for public use.
