Bhopal: After missing the July-20 deadline, finally, aerobridges are being installed at the Raja Bhoj airport. Aerobridges will become operational after the approval from the committee of directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA), which is expected to happen by middle of September.
An Indonesian company has carried out construction work of the two aerobridges being installed at the airport.
After aerobridges become functional, passenger at Bhoj airport, Bhopal, will not be required to walk to the aircraft or airport building soon after landing. Passengers will be able to board the aircraft directly from the terminal building.
According to Ramjee Awasthi, who is an engineer supervising the construction, Bhopal will be the first in state to have aerobridge facility. "As many as 12 cities were selected for installation of aerobridges including Bhopal, Indore and Raipur. We have completed the trial run. It will be functional once DGCA committee approves it," Awasthi said.
