- Enhanced Terminal Capacity: The inauguration of a new extended check-in hall in Terminal 2 provides a more spacious and comfortable environment for passengers preparing for their journeys.
Beyond these core operational improvements, SVPI Airport has also focused on elevating the overall passenger experience through a range of amenities:
- Connectivity for All: Installation of free Wi-Fi coupon kiosks specifically for non-Indian SIM card holders enables travellers to stay connected upon arrival and departure.
- Efficient Inter-Terminal Transfers: Inter-terminal electric shuttle buses offer a sustainable and convenient mode of transport for passengers with connecting flights.
