What’s the update?
As part of the construction of a new airport terminal at

The newest such development from the Indore airport comes in the form of a new
terminal.
With the newly launched international flights, the influx of
passengers from different countries will also rise, which is a major reason to
construct the new, state of the art terminal. Currently, Indore airport is in a
good shape. However, new infrastructure is being developed all over the airport
so that it lives up to the international tag. As per reports, the Indore
airport saw a 20% rise in passengers in just the last year.
The goal of the new terminal is to make sure that it can
hold double the number of passengers than it can now. It seems that Indore
airport won’t be the same anymore. Whom will it benefit? The upcoming terminal
will be utilized for domestic flights whilst the current one will be kept for
international flights. In addition to this, the upcoming development at Indore
airport will ensure that passengers going out of the city or coming into town
have a better first impression of the city. In addition to that, the airport
will also provide better services to passengers who visit the airport on a
regular basis.
The cost of construction of an entirely new terminal is
approximately ₹475 crores and we’re expecting it to have some great
conveniences. In addition to that, the recently acquired land will also be used
to build a new runway and the length of the new runway will be increased to
4000 meters, which means that more flights can originate and depart from
Indore, which would greatly help with matters in the city. The international
flight from Indore departed on July 15 which was a Dubai bound flight.
Only a few weeks back, the airport received immigration
clearance from the home ministry and city’s first Dubai bound international
flight was proposed.
The Indore airport has been gearing up for international
flights for a while now. Earlier this month, there were reports that the
airport would get a new aerobridge and two of these would be used for
international flights. In fact, only three weeks back, the airport received
immigration clearance from the home ministry and the city’s first Dubai bound
international flight was proposed.
Boeing Jet- Airbus A320 was used for the first flight from
Indore to Dubai, which has the capacity to seat 162 passengers. Further, the
plan is to have three flights from Indore on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday,
while from Dubai, the returning flights will ply on Tuesdays, Fridays, and
Sundays. The timings for these flights
are rather comfortable for not just travelers from Indore, but from nearby
places which do not have an international airport.
Already, we can see that Indore will see a greater influx of
professionals owing to this new development. As per reports from a few travel
agencies and websites, the number of commuters that search for direct flights
from Indore to Dubai is actually quite large.
