Madurai: It has been over three years since the new terminal of Madurai airport here was inaugurated, but the Airport Authority of India (AAI) is yet to establish a food court to cater to the large number of passengers utilising it.
The newly built 1.83-lakh-square-foot terminal building, capable of handling 250 passengers at the arrival end and an equal number in the departure end, badly requires a food court or at least a restaurant.
Though the AAI had floated tenders for operating a restaurant many times earlier, there were no takers for it as the cost quoted was “too high”.
“The AAI is expecting around Rs.60,000 a month from the restaurant. Anyone who rents the space would have to do business to a minimum of Rs.2 lakh a month to make a profit.
