The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is the busiest airport in India's Gujarat State. The facility handled over 200 flights/day during the pre-COVID-19 period and as air traffic resumes, it is regaining its status as an important and bustling hub for both domestic and international flights. However, the high level of traffic as well as the local climate have made it necessary for the facility to benefit from a number of improvements. The upgrade work will allow the airport to keep up with the growing post-pandemic travel demands. Due to the resurgence of travel in 2022, the challenge of resurfacing the runway had to be faced. But this work had to be carried out without impacting on flight operations. The improvements form part of a wider programme as India's airports are now seeing rapid growth in passenger numbers and flights, which is being reflected in considerable investment in aviation infrastructure. To ensure the work was carried out to the necessary quality requirements and within the strict timeframe, the project at Ahmedabad was carried out using the latest technology and with the involvement of several leading companies. |
