Coimbatore: Airport Authority of India (AAI) expects to tap more revenue from existing commercial spaces at the Coimbatore International Airport, with the completion of a slew of renovation works.
The renovation works inside the terminal building are over and eight shops are operational now.
Airport Director R. Mahalingam said that a leading vegetarian restaurant chain would soon open its outlet in the terminal. Another restaurant chain would follow suit with hot and cool beverages, snacks and bakery items.
At present, AAI is earning a revenue of ₹11 lakh per month from the shops operating inside the terminal.
“Unlike previous years, the whole commercial space available inside the terminal was given on rent to a single contractor through proper channel, a practice followed in main airports. The contractor will find clients and sell the space,” said Mr. Mahalingam.
He said that AAI does not have plans to create more commercial space inside the existing terminal as it would further reduce the space available for checked-in passengers.
