Taking into consideration the security aspect at the airport, a boundary wall along the airport perimeter has been constructed. The airport also provides for three fully equipped ambulances, a cardiac response van, and a state-of-the-art rescue and incident control equipment.
The airport also boasts of facilities such as a retail centre, a multi-cuisine food court area, an adventure play area, and a day care facility for the children of the passengers. All these facilities are much needed as the existing HAL airport was nothing more than a waiting room with no facilities, barring a few eateries and a book stall.
The airport will also sport two mono brand stores at the international terminal. Watches at the Ethos watches outlet and Deepika Govind's designer wear will be part of the attraction. Foreign exchange services would be handled by Thomas Cook and TT Forex.
At the domestic terminal one would find Tommy Hilfiger, Odyssey's books, music, flower, and toy shops. There would also be host of eateries at the airport. There will be 35 check-in counters and seven passenger gates to facilitate multiple flights coming in at around the same time.
