Tiruchi: The long-felt demand of the exporters for the establishment of a canopy in front of the air cargo terminal at the international airport here has finally been addressed. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has granted approval for erecting the canopy recently.
With the sanction for a canopy having come through, the Tiruchi airport authorities have floated tender to award the contract for this facility. Airport authorities want to complete the canopy work as quickly as possible to help the exporters.
The AAI southern regional headquarters had accorded sanction based on a proposal sent by the airport authorities following long-pending demand from the exporters, airport sources said.
Traders’ plea was that a canopy would facilitate easy handling of cargo, especially during inclement weather. The matter was raised at several cargo forums.
The sources said the huge canopy would provide cover for vehicles carrying international cargo meant for export at the cargo terminal. The offloading platform at the cargo area is proposed to be extended to accommodate more goods carriers.
