The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is thinking of a modified plan for the expansion of the new integrated terminal building of the Tiruchi international airport.
The new terminal building expansion plan would be “futuristic” in the wake of the current upswing in overall passenger traffic especially international travellers at the airport.
The proposed modified plan would take into account passenger traffic in the next 10 years at the Tiruchi airport and formulated accordingly keeping the current growth trend as the base.
The proposed move to devise a modified plan emerged following the visit of AAI Chairman R.K. Srivastava to the Tiruchi international airport in mid-August. The AAI Chairman inspected the new integrated terminal building and ascertained the infrastructure facilities and passenger data.
He was given a briefing on the existing plan drawn out for the expansion of the terminal building. Under the existing plan, the arrival and departure sides of the new terminal building was to be expanded by 100 metres and 80 metres respectively to double the passenger accommodation capacity by 800 with the estimated cost pegged at Rs. 200 crore.
