Passengers using the Bangalore International Airport in Devanahalli will have access to new facilities in phases, starting from early 2013.
The work on Terminal 1 is progressing at a steady pace without causing any inconvenience to passengers, a release from Bangalore International Airport Ltd. (BIAL), which operates the airport, said. Changes in the terminal are now clearly visible on both sides of the building with a wave-like roof structures and the column work already in place, it said.
In June 2011, the airport operator took up expansion and upgradation work, which included the runway.
Among others, work on the new VVIP building had commenced and service additions included new smoking lounges at the domestic and international pre-embarkation area as well as the international arrival, and colourful chairs, according to BIAL.
It said four temporary walkways had been constructed to provide access to the terminal during the construction phase.
With adequate signage and additional staff, the airport had ensured there was enough assistance for passengers, it added.
Currently, new temporary protective walls on the sides of the terminal are being constructed to remove existing walls, the BIAL release said.
