To cope up with the increasing passenger traffic, Jaipur airport will be going into an expansion mode. Plans are being made to expand the terminal horizontally and for this, it has been decided that two new buildings will be made.
There will be a separate building for arrival and departure. Sources informed that the contract has been awarded and work will start next year for this purpose. Currently, the airport is spread in 18000 square meter area and the expansion will make it spread in 1.25 lakh square meter area.
With separate buildings for arrival and departure, less passenger traffic will be there and will be easy to be managed by the airlines and security agencies. Jaipur had recently fallen in the airport ranking issued by an international body thanks to its current state wherein passenger rush can be seen early morning with major international airlines arriving and departing early morning along with many domestic flights. All major big airports of the country have different entry points for arrival and departure which makes them look less congested.
