Patna: The congested city airport got more space for passengers and flights as chief secretary Deepak Kumar inaugurated a security hold area with a corresponding boarding gate on the first floor of the terminal building, and two portable cabins that will expand the security hold area on the ground floor.
The facilities were inaugurated on Vishwakarma Puja on Monday, and are expected to help ease the chaotic, crowded conditions that fliers have to face at an airport that was designed to cater to people in early 1970s when there were just a handful of flights.
Now, there are around 49 arrivals and 49 departures almost every day, and the situation becomes pathetic especially during winter when fog reduces visibility leading to congestion, flight diversion and no space to cater to hundreds of passengers.
"A hall has been created on the first floor and a boarding gate has been created. Additional space for passengers has been created on the ground floor too. With these, the airport could now take extra load of passengers of three aircraft now. The new facilities are very attractive and passengers could get a view of the runway while waiting," Deepak said while inaugurating the facilities.
