Trichy: By inviting tenders for the environmental impact assessment a month ago, the Airports Authority of India has given an impetus to the new integrated terminal building project at the Trichy International Airport.
The authority is expected to finalise a contractor to undertake the assessment work in a few days. The Rs 232-crore airport expansion project is yet to gain momentum though the Union civil aviation ministry gave its approval long back.
In a year, the airport handles around 11 lakh passengers though the current terminal has the capacity to handle only 5 lakh passengers.
Once the contractor is finalised, soil testing and other impact on environment due to the project would be conducted.
Currently, the airport terminal stands in a 12,000 square feet area that can handle about 250 passengers at a time.
