GMR Hyderabad International Airport has commissioned the Interim Domestic Arrivals Terminal (IDAT) on Saturday.
The commissioning coincided with the 11th anniversary of the opening of Hyderabad International Airport.
SpiceJet SG 468 airline passengers flying from Tirupati to Hyderabad were the first to get an experience of the new facility.
Spread across 4,000 sqmt in the airside, the IDAT is an exclusive Domestic Baggage Reclaim Concourse primarily serving the passengers arriving on aircraft parked on remote stands.
The new facility offers four new baggage carousel belts of 45 meter in length each, which will help speed up the baggage delivery process. The facility is designed to handle almost 50% of the domestic arrival traffic, amounting to around 30,000 passengers daily.
