Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, also known as Guwahati International Airport, is the biggest and busiest
international airport of North-Eastern India. To meet the futuristic demands of Guwahati and add to the infrastructural development of the expanding city, Airports Authority of India has undertaken the work for Construction of New
Integrated Terminal Building at the cost of Rs.1232 Crores. The LGBI airport currently handles over six million passengers annually. The New Terminal Building will be capable to handle 4300 Domestic and 200 International passengers during peak hours and about 10 Million passengers annually. Equipped with 64 check in counters, 20 self-check in kiosk, six Baggage carousels, In-Line
baggage security screening system and 10 Aero Bridges, the terminal will be an energy efficient building.
With total built up area of 1,02,500 sqm, the terminal will have two levels, arrival at the lower/apron level and departure at the upper level. In addition to these two primary floors, there will be two more floors; a mezzanine between the two levels, part of which serves as the air-side arrival corridor for passengers alighting from the boarding bridges. The other part of this mezzanine acts as a service floor for
the baggage handling system used for outbound baggage.
