The New airport in Madurai is going to be a 17,536-square metre building, to be constructed at a cost of Rs. 88 crore. It will have advanced features. The new facility has been designed to cater to 500 passengers. It has been proposed to have four aero-bridges, though initially only two will come up. Seven glass passenger lifts, five escalators and online baggage handling systems would make it a world class airport
This is designed by Mott Macdonald, the firm which also designed the New Delhi airport and they are experts in providing designs for private and public sector infrastructures worldwide.
Here are a few pictures, which I got by email.

Now isn’t that something spectacular? While our local corporation go about demolishing temples and local people don’t respect the heritage, a foreign firm has come up with such a design highlighting our culture in their modern design.
