Jaipur: Our airport may have got the tag of an ‘international airport’, but there are many facilities that it is lacking in. For example, at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, approximate 30 flights can take off in an hour, whereas Jaipur International Airport can facilitate taking off of only 20 flights in an hour.
Besides, while IGI Airport has the parking space to accommodate over 100 aircraft, Jaipur International Airport can’t accommodate more than 21 planes at a time. Even Ahmedabad Airport has a parking space for over 40 aircraft.
If IGI Airport diverts more than two dozen flights to Jaipur Airport due to foggy conditions, the latter can’t handle this rush. Being an international airport, it requires a huge parking area and an isolated bay to park a large number of planes. It is closest to the IGI International Airport and mostly when weather is inclement in New Delhi, flights are diverted to Jaipur.
