The Port Blair airport is gearing up for a significant development as operations at its new terminal building are scheduled to commence on Monday, as confirmed by officials. Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated the new integrated terminal building at the Veer Savarkar International Airport in Andaman and Nicobar Islands on July 18.
Special welcome
In light of this occasion, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has orchestrated a special program at the new terminal to commemorate the initiation of operations. According to an AAI official, passengers stepping into the terminal will be welcomed not only with the beats of tribal dance forms but also with bouquets and traditional ‘aarti and tilak’.
