New Delhi: The roadmap for modernisation of Kolkata and Chennai airports is nearing completion and civil aviation ministry officials are already upbeat about the new “intelligent” and IT-enabled terminals coming up at major airports across the country.
“As soon as we get it, we will move the Union Cabinet on modernisation of Kolkata and Chennai airports,” Civil Aviation Secretary Ashok Chawla told reporters after inaugurating the “Inter Airport India” exhibition here.
He said the West Bengal government had already made it clear that the Kolkata airport would be modernised by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
Earlier, addressing the inaugural session of the exhibition, AAI Chief K Ramalingam said major Indian airports in future would have “intelligent terminals” fitted with sensors to operate various facilities — from lighting and air-conditioning to an IT-enabled building management system.
High-tech equipment would be deployed for the security and air traffic control (ATC) systems covering a wide range of activities — from access control to perimeter security.
