Key components of the development include extending the runway and constructing a new apron to accommodate up to 20 aircraft. These expansions are set to significantly boost operational efficiency and capacity at Varanasi airport.
Sustainability Initiatives
The project underscores a commitment to environmental sustainability with measures such as energy optimization, waste recycling, carbon footprint reduction, and solar energy utilization. The airport aims to integrate sustainable practices from planning to operational phases.
Cultural Heritage and Design
The new terminal, spanning 75,000 sqm, is not only geared for enhanced operational capacity but also designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage of Varanasi. It promises to offer passengers a glimpse of the city’s cultural legacy through its architectural and design elements.
