BHUBANESWAR: A host of new facilities can greet fliers to and
from the city airport.
While those getting prepared for or returning after a long journey can have the rejuvenating experience in a spa centre, those willing to treat their taste buds would be able to do so at a food joint.
The airport authority at Biju Patnaik airport here is planning to open a spa massage centre near the security lounge (first floor) of the new domestic terminal, which is likely to be operational by the second week of February.
Sources said the airport invited applications from private parties for opening the spa massaging centre.
"There will be a tender process and the highest bidder will be allowed to open the spa centre. Opening the centre is part of a new initiative being taken to provide a host of new facilities for the passengers," said airport director Sharad Kumar.
He said that details about the facilities to be provided there would be known after the opening of the centre. "Normally, the international terminals have spa massage centres. It is not such a common feature in domestic terminals," said the director.
Besides the spa centre, there would be food kiosk, which will serve continental, Indian and local food items.
Gift shops, beauty and personal care clinics, books and periodicals and stationery shops would also be opened there.
"Around 26 different facilities will be available at the new terminal. We will go for a separate shop for sale of handicrafts and handlooms, since we have ample space for retail counters. We are also planning to open a jewellery shop as well. We want to make the fliers' experience wholesome," the director said.
He added that there would be facilities for a travel guide and taxi service. The shops will be of four to three meters length. The rent price will differ from shop to shop on the kind of product they sell.
After the start of international operations at the old domestic terminal, there would be a few duty-free shops for overseas passengers as well.
