Haphazardly parked cars at the airport
Surat: While you plan to drive down to Surat airport to pick up or drop someone off, add a few more hours to your schedule mentally before your turn the ignition key. Chances are you may be forced to spend inside your car trapped in the maze of vehicles clogging the parking lot inside the airport premises.
With the Airports Authority of India (AAI) yet to find a bidder for the parking contract at the airport, chaotic scenes are witnessed every day due to the haphazard parking at the free parking lot. Vehicles are not having to pay any charges for the past many months now, and it’s literally a free ride inside.
GUWAHATI: The LGBI airport here will be the nodal point for the distribution of the novel coronavirus vaccine to the entire northeast region, sources at the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said on Monday. The cargo wing of AAI will receive the first consignment from Pune.
An official at AAI said it may take a couple of days for the consignment to reach Guwahati, which has a capacity to stock around 80 metric tons of vaccine doses. “The tentative date for the arrival has not been confirmed,” he said, adding that various locations in the northeast and pick-up points at the airport have been identified for the transportation of the doses via road or air.
