Air Cargo Terminal Also Reviewed
The Chief Minister also reviewed facilities at the air cargo terminal during his inspection and assured Airports Authority of India officials that the state government would extend all possible support to ensure the terminal is completed on time.
Khemchand Singh emphasized that ensuring Imphal’s international airport operates at optimal efficiency remains a key responsibility of the government.
What the New Terminal Will Deliver
Once completed, the new terminal building will bring transformative improvements to airport operations and the passenger experience, according to officials.
The upgrade will enable round-the-clock operations, extending functioning hours from the current 12–14 hours per day to 24 hours. Passenger handling capacity will increase dramatically — from 1.39 million passengers per annum (MPPA) to 5 MPPA.
Car parking capacity will also see a major expansion, growing from just 100 cars at present to 1,089 cars in the new integrated terminal complex.
Senior Officials Accompanied the CM
The inspection was attended by Chief Secretary Puneet Kumar Goel, Additional Chief Secretary (Transport) Anurag Bajpai, Commissioner-cum-Secretary (Home) N. Ashok Kumar, along with the Director of the Airport and the Director of Transport.
