The newly upgraded kerbside at Terminal 1 (T1) of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport was officially inaugurated by the Honourable Chief Minister of Assam, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, alongside key stakeholders from the LGBI Airport community. This landmark achievement not only reflects a significant enhancement in the airport's infrastructure but also demonstrates a strong commitment to providing passengers with a travel experience that is not just safe and secure, but truly unforgettable.

To enhance passenger experience, LGBIA has introduced several key upgrades:

• The passenger movement area has been expanded by 700 Sq Mts to accommodate growing passenger numbers.
• The number of departure gates has been increased from five to seven, reducing passenger wait times. These seven gates provide a total of 14 entry lanes.
• To entry and exit into the airport and parking area has been optimised by adding segregation traffic and creating two additional entry points. All entry and exit points into LGBI Airport are now FasTag enabled.
• A safe and convenient walking path, with a zebra crossing, from the parking area to the terminal has been created for the safety of pedestrians.
• To further enable a seamless travel experience, LGBI Airport has created a traffic free lane on the kerbside. The retail and F&B outlets on this lane have been carefully curated to enhance the kerbside experience, whilst providing a vibrant and inviting shopping and dining experience 24 hours, 365 days.

The redevelopment of T1 includes the creation of a beautiful moss wall, adding a touch of natural elegance to the overall airport experience. This unique feature not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the terminal but also contributes to a more pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for passengers.

T1 will feature 47 digital screens across the kerbside to showcase a curated selection of videos highlighting the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the North East of India, with a special focus on Assam. These engaging visuals will not only capture the attention of tourists but also serve as an effective platform to disseminate information about the region to a large and diverse audience, promoting tourism and cultural exchange.
