Tags:
Bigger lounge and check-in area, 12 self check-in counters and six immigration and six emigration counters and six more baggage reclaim conveyor belts are some of the features the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) will add to its T1 Terminal, which is being expanded. Over 77,209 square metres will be added to the new terminal with 37 extra check-in counters, a VVIP building and smoking lounges.
The new infrastructure will be made available in phases, starting early 2013. In a statement on Monday, the Bangalore International Airport Limited said keeping in view the 24X7 operations of the terminal, work has been progressing at a steady pace without causing any disruptions to passengers. The construction work at the terminal is on either sides of the building with the wave-like roof structures and columns. To enable a seamless integration of the new terminal with the old, temporary protective walls on the sides of the terminal building are being constructed to remove the existing walls. The roof of the building is being extended to the sides as well as to the front.
Four temporary walkways have been constructed to provide access to the terminal during construction phase to provide a safe passage. “Adequate arrangements have been made to ensure passenger convenience by providing sufficient way finding signage and by deploying of additional staff to assist the passengers,” BIAL said.
