New airport blends tradition and modernity
AS ONE ENTERS the Navi Mumbai International Airport, large digital screens catch the eye, some displaying flight information and some beaming the history of arts and culture of Maharashtra as well as India.
Designed in the shape of a lotus, the new airport, the first phase of which will be opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, is a blend of tradition and modernity. The first commercial flight is expected to take off from the airport at Ulwe, nearly 37 kilometres from South Mumbai, in December this year. The aim is to provide the maximum convenience and reduce “anxiety points” for passengers through the use of technology while embracing tradition in design and digital displays, according to the airport operator.
“Our aim is to remove anxiety from common people, said Arun Bansal, CEO of Adani Airport Holdings (AAHL).
IN TOTAL, THE airport will have 32,000 sq ft of digital art programme and 4,000 sq ft of LED screens.
