New Hyderabad Airport Starts Operations

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad has started functioning. We need to keep pace with International standards in our airports. The newly built Beijing Airport is a role model for every country to emulate. The newly built Beijing Airport is the latest wonder in airports in the world. What is astonishing is that this marvel has been built in the world’s most populated developing country! Almost 50,000 workers toiled round the clock in 8-hour shifts and built the colossal $3.75-billion terminal in only four years. China wanted the airport to be ready before August 8, when the Beijing Olympic Games begin. The new terminal will have a capacity of 75 million passengers a year. It features an extremely high-tech passenger baggage system — on 50 km of conveyor belts — that can handle 19,800 bags per hour. The size of the new Beijing airport can be gauged from the fact that it boasts of 64 restaurants, 80 retail stores, 175 escalators, 173 lifts, 437 revelators or moving footpaths, and 300 check-in counters.. The airport’s runway is capable of handling the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. The airport building has integrated environmental control systems to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions
