Canopy construction in front of air cargo terminal set in motion

Tiruchi: Exporters despatching cargo from the Tiruchi international airport may not be affected by vagaries of weather soon as construction of a canopy in front of the air cargo terminal has been set in motion.

Heeding persistent demand from the stakeholders, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) recently awarded contract for the establishment of a canopy in front of the air cargo terminal after according approval for the project.

A puja to mark the commencement of the canopy construction work was performed at the Tiruchi airport on Monday with the airport authorities targeting its completion in three months before the onset of the monsoon season. The canopy project would be executed at a cost of Rs. 38 lakh in front of the air cargo terminal which was commissioned in 2011.

With air cargo export volume on the upswing over the years, exporters felt the need for the establishment of a canopy so that their commodities did not get spoilt while being offloaded at the cargo terminal during monsoon season.
