The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has taken up the task to expand the existing terminal building at Bagdogra airport to accommodate its passengers until a new and more spacious building comes up at the airport.
The Union civil aviation ministry has sanctioned a sum of Rs 11.26 crore for the project to expand the floor area of terminal building of the second-most important airport of Bengal after the one in Calcutta.
This work will be done in three phases, sources said. The current building, sources said, is spread over around 8,000 square metres or 86,000 square feet.
