Domestic airport terminal to be moved to Sahar TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2006 02:47:35 AM] MUMBAI: Mumbai's domestic airport terminal will be moved from Santa Cruz, where it has been located for the past 45 years, to Sahar in Andheri in the next few years. The domestic and international terminals will be part of a new airport complex being planned at Sahar by Mumbai International Airport (MIAP), the new consortium that has taken over the operations of India's largest airport. The existing domestic terminal at Santa Cruz will be converted either into a terminal for low cost airlines or into a cargo hub, MIAP managing director GV Sanjay Reddy said. The consortium plans to invest about Rs 5,800 crore over the next seven years in the airport project. The two airport terminals, at Santa Cruz and Sahar, now use the same air-side facilities (runway, etc), but are physically separated on the land-side. In the new scheme, the terminals will be connected to the Western Express highway with an eight-lane expressway, Mr Reddy said.>> ------------------ The length of the "8-lane expressway" should not be more than 6-8km (six to eight km only). But in a congested place like Mumbai that will be like 50 km in Goa! _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. Goanet mailing list (Goanet@goanet.org)
