Jaipur: Here is good news for air passengers travelling abroad and within the country. After renovation, Sanganer airport by December would be ready to handle international flights while Terminal 2 would be confined for domestic operations. Even though the civil and other infrastructural works at the airport got a little delayed due to lockdown, authorities said that it would be operational after the completion by December this year.
