"The multi-modal transportation hub and parking lot are not yet complete. The public must park in the T1 bay, and the trek from T1 to T2 is difficult with luggage. Even though there are only 200 metres separating the two terminals, one cannot enter T2 from T1, according to a source.

According to a different source, the electrical work is not yet finished. According to a staff member, only landscaping was done on the exterior to make it look nice at the launch; however, interior landscaping has not yet been completed.

None of the airlines we spoke to indicated they had plans to run flights out of T2 this year.

For international operations, which are scheduled to begin at T2 in mid-2023, much work needs to still be done. There is enough time, according to a source, to instal full body cameras at the immigration checkpoint area, luggage scanners at stores, and retail locations. Due to the epidemic, the original deadline of March 2021 was never met.

CISF to boost strength

The CISF, which oversees overall airport security, will add approximately 2,200 new employees, or 60% of its current total. According to a source, the airport police station would also be hiring more people.
