The Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) has expanded its customs check area. According to TIA’s General Manager Pratap Babu Tiwari, widening of the congested area is expected to make it easier for the passengers.
“The customs check area at the international terminal has been expanded as the narrow space was causing inconvenience to the passengers,” he said, adding, “The ‘check-in area’ of the entrance will also be widened.”
The TIA office shared that the construction of a wider arrival terminal with two separate belts has come to the final phase. Tiwari further shared that the task of expanding the check-in area of the international terminal building will be taken ahead.
Minimum equipment is being provided to carry out the operation by removing the obstruction on the runway by pulling the aircraft out of the runway of the airport in case the landing gear wheel of the aircraft collapses or is damaged.
According to the airport authority, ‘Disabled Air Cargo Recovery Kits’ have been arranged at the international airport. Similarly, the expansion of the domestic vehicle parking area and access road has been completed. This will increase the parking capacity and provide a free drop-only facility for those coming only to drop passengers without having to go to the parking lot.
