Ahmedabad airport may soon get a third terminal

The city's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) may soon get a third terminal.

Adani Airports CEO Arun Bansal told sources on Wednesday that while work is on to expand the existing T1 and T2, Ahmedabad's passenger growth is such that the airport needs a brand new terminal.

SVPIA has one runway. The Adani Group-run Mumbai Airport handles 4.5 crore passengers annually with one runway (it has cross runways so only one can be used at a time).

So Adani Group can easily handle the traffic of T1, T2 and proposed T3 with the single runway.
