Entry Point Will Be Eco-Friendly And Grand

In order to make the entry point of the Chakeri airport more eco-friendly and grand, PWD is asked to prepare a project to raise footpaths and plant trees on both sides. The commissioner has also asked them to come up with a project for landscaping the median of the road and installing barbed wire fencing to prevent encroachment. It will have all the state-of-the-art facilities and a 4-star GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment)-rated energy-efficient building. 

Additionally, the airport will have a Night Landing Facility (NLF) to enable smooth landings of flights in lower visibility. Eight check-in counters, a line-based baggage handling system, and two conveyor lines will all be present. Increasing the civil enclave’s capacity at Kanpur Airport will improve connections to the metropolis and promote regional development. The construction of this airport went through a lot of delays for months and years now.
