Tripura will have its first integrated terminal building of MBB which will showcase the rich cultural heritage of Tripura.
According to Airport Authority of India (AAI), the airport terminal has been built at a cost of about Rs. 450 crore and is expected to be capable of handling around four to five times more passengers than the existing one, which reportedly can manage only 500 passengers at a time.
The new airport terminal building in Tripura comes as part of AAI’s initiative to develop modern, state-of-the-art airports all across the North East to contribute to the all-round development of the region.
The new Tripura Airport Terminal includes as many as 20 check-in counters, 10 immigration counters, aprons for six aircraft parking bays, five custom counters, four passenger boarding bridges, and even one hangar. In line with the Cochin International Airport, the airport terminal building in Tripura shall also include a solar power unit capable of handling most of its power requirements.
The new integrated terminal building of the Airport has been built to promote the rich cultural heritage of the state. The initiative was taken by the Airport Authority of India (AAI).
Spread over 30,000 square meters, the new state-of-the-art terminal building is equipped with modern facilities and supported by the latest Information Technology (IT) network-integrated system.
