Bhubaneswar airport will integrate arrival, departure in T3

Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar will redesign its proposed T3 terminal as a single, integrated facility for both arrivals and departures. The decision to integrate T3, covering 65,000 sqm, was made after considering operational difficulties with segregated terminals; it will handle 8.6 million passengers annually. The project, estimated to cost Rs 1,000 crore, will require six additional aerobridges. The airport, which currently handles over 15,000 daily passengers, previously had separate terminals; the new terminal's design will prioritize passenger comfort and commercial activities.
