Mumbai: Students from city schools and also from other smaller towns of Vidarbha are visting Nagpur's Dr Babasaheb airport to see aircraft land and take off from visitors' gallery. Responding to the trend, Mihan India Ltd (MIL), the airport operator company has reduced its entrance fee for students from Rs 15 to just Rs 5. "With the reduced rates the students coming from economically backward classes would not be deprived any more from watching major developments at the operational area of the airport,” a senior MIL official claimed.
MIL is also thinking of starting a conducted tour programme for students that would allow the children to enter the operational area and study all the operations up close. They would also be allowed to see air traffic control operations. Students and people other than passengers will be given entry in viewers' gallery airport at nominal rates. The MIL has already reduced the parking charges for vehicles so that more users make use of parking facilities and also reduced the standard viewers' gallery rates to Rs 15, the official stated, according to a Times of India report by Sachin Dravekar.
