As the Union Cabinet granted international status to the city's Amausi airport, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to dedicate the old terminal building for international operations. Closed for nearly five months now, the building is likely to reopen for international passengers by the second week of November. The new terminal building, on the other hand, will cater to the domestic passengers only.
The airport, as of now, has an integrated status with domestic and international passengers flying from one terminal only. With this Lucknow airport will join the league of few airports in India, which have separate buildings for domestic and international operations.
Airport director Suresh Hota said that the old terminal would be given a facelift within a month time. "We are in the process of putting in place better conveyor belts having feeders, constructing better toilets and strengthening the security hold area (SHA)," he said while speaking to TOI, adding "We expect the job to be done by the second week of November."
