AHMEDABAD: The new upgraded cargo terminal of the City which was set to be operationalised in the first week of September is delayed again.
The first major infrastructure upgradation project undertaken by Adani Airports at the airport has suffered a second delay, according to sources. At first, the project was expected to be operationalised in mid-July.
However, sources said that due to delay in construction work and pending approvals, the same got deferred. In the second stage, the finishing work of premises was completed, and the terminal was expected to be operationalised in the first week of September.
An email query sent to Adani Airports which manages the city airport’s operations, management and development, asking for reasons for delay in operationalising the terminal, did not elicit a response.
The new cargo terminal is being set up by merging the existing cargo terminal with terminal 3, which was earlier the Haj terminal, from where flights ferrying Haj pilgrims operated. However, there is no clarity as yet on part of the city airport authorities regarding setting up of a terminal for Haj flight operations.
