Why it matters
Infrastructure upgrades at regional airports are critical for supporting India's growing aviation sector and improving travel accessibility.
The Tiruchi international airport has further enhanced its passenger handling infrastructure by commissioning four additional Passenger Boarding Bridges (PBB) at the new integrated terminal building.
The four Passenger Boarding Bridges at Bays 13, 15, 17, and 19 have been completed at a cost of ₹11.90 crore. The PBBs were commissioned and inaugurated by Airport Director G. Gopalakrishnan on Wednesday and brought into operational use.
The commissioning of the additional PBBs will significantly improve passenger convenience and operational efficiency by providing seamless and direct boarding from the terminal building to the aircraft. It would enhance accessibility and comfort for senior citizens, passengers with reduced mobility and wheelchair users and protect passengers from adverse weather conditions such as extreme heat and rain during boarding and disembarkation.
