The NITI Aayog just approved the master plan, and the final nod is now with the Cabinet Committee on Expenditure. What’s surprising? They’ve already got 99% of the land; 621 out of 627 acres. The new terminal will be 75,000 sq.m., handling 12 million passengers a year; up from today’s 3.5 million. Right now, they’re even running interim works to add 1,000 sq.m. by Dec 2026 to handle the crowd until the big build finishes in 3 years. Peak hour capacity will jump from 1,770 to 4,200 pax. Oh, and Akasa Air might be coming in too. For those eyeing airport jobs or civil aviation roles; watch this space. Big expansion = big hiring opportunities. Also, don’t forget; Yatri Sewa Abhiyan starts Sept 17. Passenger experience is getting serious focus now. This isn’t just about bigger planes; it’s about transforming regional connectivity. If you’re from Tamil Nadu or planning to move there for work; this could be your gateway.
