Joint shipbuilding projects at Indian shipyards to be explored

The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, operated by the GMR group, has announced the launch of a new, state-of-the-art general aviation terminal specifically designed for private jet owners and users. According to a press release from the airport operator, the new terminal is intended to cater to the varied needs of passengers travelling on chartered flights for business or personal purposes from Hyderabad Airport.

The terminal is expected to extend luxury to frequent HNI travellers, offering unparalleled comfort, convenience, and bespoke services. Panicker added that GMR Hyderabad International Airport is committed to enhancing excellence in the years to come, ensuring a world-class experience for its travellers.

The general aviation terminal, covering 11,234 square feet, is located adjacent to the RGIA terminal and includes a private entrance and car park. The terminal's design features a unique blend of classical architecture with Indo-Saracenic and Indo-Gothic styles, creating an interior atmosphere rich in elegance and comfort.

The terminal offers dedicated facilitation services for domestic and international general aviation passengers and is equipped with a lounge, private lounge, separate arrival and departure corridors, check-in, immigration and customs checks, hand baggage processing, security clearance, a breathalyzer test facility for crew, a staff lounge, duty-free options, and a dedicated Wi-Fi-enabled service for seamless connectivity.

Passengers will be chauffeur-driven directly to and from the aircraft to avoid any queues or delays. The new general aviation terminal at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport is set to establish a new standard in comfort, efficiency, and luxury. With its world-class facilities and exceptional services, the lounge aims to transform the travel experience for domestic private aircraft users .
