SVPI integrated terminal building built by FY 2026

The upcoming integrated terminal building at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport is set to transform the passenger experience. With projections indicating a surge to 19.8 million passengers annually by FY 2026, doubling from 11 million in FY 2024, the SVPI airport operator is spearheading the development of a state-of-the-art integrated terminal catering to both domestic and international flights.

Upon completion, the new terminal will offer passengers an array of enhancements, including multiple check-in gates, a spacious check-in area with streamlined counters, and several security checkpoints aimed at facilitating seamless transit to boarding gates. The expansive design will alleviate congestion and provide a more comfortable environment for travellers.

With an investment of Rs 31.30 billion, Adani Ahmedabad International Airport Limited (AAIAL) is set to commence construction of the new integrated terminal building by FY 2026. This development entails relocating the Gujsail terminal to make room for the new facility.

"The current combined capacity of T1 and T2 accommodates approximately 1 crore passengers. The new integrated terminal building will have the capacity to handle 20 million passengers, featuring expanded seating areas, a larger security hold area, and an abundance of amenities including dining options, rest areas, and recreational facilities," revealed a knowledgeable source.

Moreover, the implementation of DigiYatra technology will optimise passenger flow, ensuring minimal time spent?potentially as low as 12 minutes?to reach the boarding gate.

Construction will proceed in phases, with the existing domestic terminal (T1) slated for demolition to facilitate further expansion of the integrated terminal building once operational. This strategic approach underscores the airport's commitment to accommodating the anticipated 80% surge in passenger traffic in the coming years.

"We anticipate a significant increase in passenger footfall at SVPI airport, necessitating the construction of a new terminal equipped to handle the growing demand," said a well-informed source.
