TRICHY: The Trichy International airport is all set to get its third aerobridge in the coming months. The bridge that will be constructed at a cost of Rs 3.5 crore is awaiting approval from the Central Headquarters. AAI has planned to upgrade airports in tier-2 cities across the country and floated a tender. Following this, a foreign-based agency was chosen to install aerobridges.
With increase in passenger inflow since January this year, the authorities have taken up steps to upgrade facilities in the airport. The airport operates a total of 85 international and 28 domestic services every week, but only Air India Express operates a direct flight to Dubai.
As part of the initiative, the Trichy airport authorities have planned to install the third aerobridge in the terminal. A senior AAI official from the airport said, "There were plans to develop airports across the country. Trichy airport was one among them and AAI has proposed to construct a third aerobridge at the airport. This made AAI to call for a tender and finalized a bidder to construct aerobridges in selected airports."
