Airport Overview

The airport is owned and operated by the government-run Airports Authority of India, which means that it lacks the organization and sophistication of India's three bigger private airports. It's in the process of being modernized and redeveloped. As part of this, new domestic and international terminals were built and opened in 2013, and the secondary runway was extended. However the airport is again facing severe capacity constraints, as passenger traffic is growing by nearly 15% per year.
A second phase of redevelopment is currently underway to expand the airport. It's expected to be completed by 2021 and will increase the capacity to 30 million passengers per year. The redevelopment includes the demolition of the airport's old terminals and construction of an additional new integrated terminal building in their place. This third terminal will serve as an international terminal between the two existing terminals, both of which function as domestic terminals. A multi-level car park will also be constructed.
It's anticipated that the new integrated terminal will be much more user-friendly than the existing terminals, as it's being designed by a firm that was involved in the widely lauded Terminal 4 of Singapore's Changi Airport (consistently rated best in the world).
Passengers can expect some inconvenience while the construction work is going
