Airports Authority of India (AAI) has announced that the construction work for the new integrated terminal building at Pune International Airport is scheduled to be finished by August 2022.
The total project is valued at around $65.07m (Rs4.75bn), with 60% of the work already concluded.
With a capacity to manage 19 million passengers annually, the new terminal building will cover a 500,000ft² area and aid in minimising congestion during rush hours.
Covering an area of 22,000m², the current terminal building can manage seven million passengers per annum (MPPA).
However, the existing terminal building handled over nine million passengers in 2018-19.
The AAI said: “To reduce congestion during peak hours at Pune Airport, AAI has undertaken the construction of the new integrated terminal building at a cost of $65.07m (Rs4.75bn). As much as 60% of the work has been completed and construction of the new building is likely to be completed by August 2022.”
