Aurangabad: While the flight operations to and from Aurangabad airport have received a shot in the arm with a number of air service providers connecting the city to other metropolitans in the last six months, there is still room for improvement in terms of the facilities at the airport.
Tasvvar Ali, coordinator for GIZ in Aurangabad and a regular flier, feels that the number of security checking gates at the airport should be increased.
Giving an account of his experience at the airport last week, Ali said that the long queues of passengers at the airport was a major disappointment. “I had to take a flight to Hyderabad, which was scheduled at 5.15 pm, and had reached the airport at 3.30 pm. However, I had to stand for an hour for the security check-in. Though the number of flights has increased, the ground facilities are same as before,” he said.
Other passengers complained that besides improving other facilities like the lounge and the waiting room, the airport needed to up its game in terms of food and beverage facilities.
Notably, after the grounding of Jet Airways flights to Mumbai in March, the city was only connected to Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad with one Delhi-Aurangabad-Mumbai flight (operated by Air India) and a Trujet flight to Hyderabad.
