Nagpur: Both aerobridges at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport have finally become functional again. The use of Aerobridge 1 was restarted on Friday with IndiGo being the first airline to use it while Aerobridge 2 had begun functioning from December 1.
Both the aerobridges were not being used for many months as the carpeting of apron area under them was not properly done. Airport authorities drew some flak for it as they were lying useless after spending great deal of time and money on them.
"Depressions were noticed on the apron where the wheels of the aircraft would be at the time of using the aerobridge. So, we decided to stop the service. Resurfacing of the apron area has been completed now. Aerobridge 2 has already begun to be used while Aerobridge 1 will start today," said P Anil Kumar, senior airport director.
