This construction project will cost an estimated amount of Rs 458 crore, the Airports Authority of India said on Tuesday. The Airports Authority of India (AAI), which works under the Civil Aviation Ministry, owns and operates over 100 airports in the country. The Kolkata Airport in Kolkata is one of them, according to a PTI report. The new building at the Kolkata airport, with more than 50 metres of height, will be equipped with advanced digital technology in the field of communication and air traffic system, the AAI stated.
