Jammu Airport records major infrastructure, capacity expansion in past 12 yrs: Director
JAMMU, Jun 13 (PTI): Jammu Airport has witnessed significant growth and modernisation over the past decade, with major upgrades in passenger handling, runway infrastructure, cargo facilities, security systems and air connectivity, its director Devender Yadav said on Saturday.
He said the new terminal building is about 60 per cent complete and is targeted for commissioning by the end of the year. The facility will nearly double Jammu Airport’s capacity, enabling it to handle around five million passengers per annum.
Operated jointly by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Indian Air Force (IAF), the Jammu airport — one of North India’s strategically significant aviation hubs — will celebrate ‘Yatri Suvidha Diwas’ on June 15 with a series of passenger-focused programmes, community outreach initiatives and welfare activities aimed at enhancing passenger experience and recognising the contributions of aviation stakeholders.
