This Thread is to follow the developments in Coimbatore airport
Thanks for the details. Hope one day we can see that nice proposal in realIts looks like AAI conducted a competition for new CBE airport terminal along with various other airport terminals. Lot of arch companies participated in it and they submitted their design. This is one of the design presented by a company (RMJM archi) and they published in their website.
This design or whatever designed approved may be planned for the big bang expansion (new ternminal) not for current terrminal expansion.

Coimbatore airport, that holds a Customs airport status currently, will soon get an international status with new extended runways, bigger terminal, better ambiance and mechanized ground handling. The process of acquiring 590 acres on the other side of the current runway is in progress and the status is expected in the next two years.
VP Agrawal, chairman of Airport Authority of India told reporters that Coimbatore has a rich potential in the all three verticals — passenger, cargo and international traffic —- and the airport has seen a constant growth of 10 per cent year on year.
I know Pick-up and drop service is available in front of the old terminal. I have used to it. Since parking cost is Rs.50-60 , the taxi will drop in front of the terminal and within 2-3 min they have to clear the area or else will be charged. The parking area is very near to the terminal. But I don't know how it is planned near expanded terminal. It looks like old terminal is used for departure and expanded one is used for arrival.so there is no pickup and drop off area right?
you come out of airport and you land in parking lot... just like udaipur..
both the cities got raw deal from AAI
i meant a shaded "porch" right at the gates where you can pickup and drop off people. that helps a lot during rain or hot summer.I know Pick-up and drop service is available in front of the old terminal.

It will take atleast 3-4 months to complete the entire work of the expanded terminal. We hope that the shelter should have been planned. Fingers are crossed.

There should be some area left outside the airport, it should be not like that , that you come out and won't see anything other than parking of the vehicles. I think they are improving in that area and hope that they come up with good result.so there is no pickup and drop off area right?
