Guwahati Airport’s New Terminal Set to Serve 13.1 Million Passengers by 2030
The Guwahati Airport is undergoing a significant transformation as construction of its new international terminal rapidly advances. This modern facility is set to be operational by July 2025, marking a major step forward in boosting the airport’s passenger handling capacity and enhancing travel services. Designed to serve 13.1 million passengers annually by 2030, this expansion will play a vital role in positioning Guwahati as a key aviation hub in Northeast India.
The new terminal is being developed with a sleek, modern design aimed at improving the functionality and appearance of Guwahati Airport. It will not only increase the airport’s capacity but also offer an upgraded travel experience for both domestic and international passengers. The terminal will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including spacious check-in areas, advanced security systems, and improved baggage handling services.
By 2030, the terminal is expected to accommodate up to 13.1 million passengers each year, a significant increase from the airport’s current capacity. This growth reflects the rising demand for air travel in the region, driven by both tourism and business activities.
Construction work on the new terminal is progressing smoothly, with the project set to meet its target completion date in 2025. The development is part of a broader initiative to modernize Guwahati Airport and bring it in line with global standards.
The new terminal will be equipped with modern amenities to make travel more comfortable and efficient. Passengers can look forward to upgraded lounges, enhanced retail and dining options, and seamless connectivity with public transportation. This will significantly improve the overall travel experience, making the airport a key gateway for visitors to Northeast India.
The increase in international flights will also support the tourism industry, making it easier for travelers to visit popular destinations in the region, such as Kaziranga National Park and the Assam tea estates.
As the project nears completion, it promises to elevate the status of Guwahati Airport and improve regional connectivity, contributing to the long-term economic and tourism growth of the region.
