Officials at Jaipur International Airport have announced extensive expansion efforts in response to a projected 10% annual increase in passenger traffic in the coming years. Following approvals from the Ministry of Civil Aviation, development activities are now in full swing within both the landside area and the terminal building.

The airport, which recorded a total of 4.98 million passengers last year, is gearing up to accommodate the expected growth. A senior airport official noted, ""Expecting the growth trends, the airport is expanding its capacity to meet future requirements. The Central Government is also focusing on connectivity to smaller cities, so passenger traffic will certainly increase in coming years.""

Presently, Terminal 2's departure area boasts 26 check-in counters, with an additional 13 counters currently under construction. The first floor of the departure area has been enhanced with 100 more seats, achieved by relocating the boarding gate. Moreover, passengers can look forward to the introduction of an ultra-luxury lounge for their comfort. Plans for refurbishing the ground floor lounge are also on the horizon. Other significant improvements include the installation of extra baggage conveyor belts in the domestic departure area and the deployment of additional security personnel and X-ray machines in the security hold area, as outlined by an airport official.

As the airport continues to evolve and expand, it is poised to better serve the growing number of passengers and contribute to enhanced connectivity across the region.
