A proposed 5,000 KL capacity fuel farm at Jaipur International Airport aims to reduce aircraft turnaround time and enhance operational efficiency, ToI reported on July 17. Currently, refueling involves trucks fetching fuel from a station and then refilling aircraft, a process that can be time-consuming.

With a fuel farm, airlines can have their trucks ready on-site, speeding up the refueling process.

A senior airport official told the newspaper, "The plan includes constructing a fuel farm near the state hangar, which will streamline operations.

" Additionally, new taxiways, an apron, and a Rapid Exit Taxiway (RET) will be built to allow aircraft to vacate runways quickly.

Jaipur Airport has a Rs 6,000 crore investment plan for various development projects by 2027, focusing on passenger amenities and efficiency.

Initiatives like DigiYatra, passenger Wi-Fi, and IoT-based projects aim to enhance the passenger experience.

Sustainable growth is also a priority, with a shift towards more electric vehicles at the airport.

Furthermore, the airport plans to build an Integrated Cargo Complex with an annual capacity of 22,500 metric tonnes, boosting economic growth opportunities.

These developments could lead to a significant upgrade in Jaipur Airport's infrastructure and services, promising better efficiency and passenger satisfaction, ToI's report said.
