The 1.5 mil-lion sq ft two-level terminal built at a cost of Rs.10 billion provides for 112 check-in counters, in-line baggage screening facilities, 100 immigration counters, 19 boarding gates, six baggage conveyor belts, 15 aero bridges and fully covered alighting and boarding area be-sides a 50,000 sq ft walk through duty-free shop.
A modern parking bay, taxi-link to first floor of the terminal, advanced airfield ground lighting system and a modern X-ray-baggage screening as well as flyovers to-wards the terminal and its exit ex-tending to about half-a-km are the other features of the new terminal.
