Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and civil aviation Minister
Jyotiraditya Scindia will inaugurate the new terminal building of
Kanpur airport on Friday.
The new terminal building --
which is 16 times bigger than the existing terminal -- is a step towards
improving connectivity and enhanced passenger experience, and will also
integrate the culture and heritage of Kanpur, according to a government
release.
The terminal building of the new civil enclave is built
in an area of 6,243 square metres at a project cost of Rs 150 crore. It
has a spacious concessionaire area covering 850 square meters, offering
a diverse range of retail and dining options for travellers.
The
terminal is equipped to handle 400 passengers during peak hours, as
compared to 50 passengers in the existing building. On the city side of
the terminal, there are 150 car parking spaces and two bus parking
spaces, ensuring ample parking facilities for commuters.
The
newly developed apron is suitable for parking three A-321/ B-737 types
of aircraft along with a new link Taxi Track of 713m X 23m, said the
release.
Eight check-in counters have been built, and three
conveyor belts have been set up -- with one located in the departure
hall and two in the arrival hall.
The building has various
sustainability features like a double insulated roofing system,
provision of canopies for energy saving, LED lighting, low heat gain
double glazing unit, rainwater harvesting to recharge the groundwater
table, water treatment plant, sewage treatment plant, and use of
recycled water for landscaping.
Along with this, a solar power
plant with a capacity of 100 KWp has also been set up and has been
provided to meet GRIHA-IV ratings -- a national green building rating
system in the country denoting sustainable development and responsible
resource management.
The exterior of the building depicts the
temple architecture of the famous JK Temple of Kanpur, while the
interiors are based on various local themes such as textiles, leather
industries, and the city's renowned public figures like poet Shyamlal
Gupta and sage Maharishi Valmiki.
