The Jaipur International Airport is situated in Sanganer, approximately 12 km from the centre of Jaipur. With an average footfall of approximately 29 lakh people every year, the airport is one of the largest in India. The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has initiated the refurbishment and retrofitting of the T1 terminal of the airport to raise its safety and efficiency standards for passenger use. The terminal, previously used only for cargo and Haj passengers, is currently in a derelict condition, with an inefficient spatial organisation and lack of amenities. Having diverse experience in large scale public projects, the design for the project has been awarded to HCP.
The refurbishment proposal streamlines the spatial organisation of the airport responding to the multi-layered functionality of its spaces. It ensures a linear and uni-directional passenger movement and reduces pockets of unused space. An increased seating capacity of 377 passengers at the departure waiting hall is incorporated in the terminal, along with amenities like eateries, ATMs, money changing kiosks and duty-free shops. The proposal also integrates spaces for billboards to enable revenue generating opportunities, making them a seamless part of the interiors. Interior elements like murals, openings, and partitions are specifically crafted to reference the traditional Rajasthani style of the region, inspired from the local architecture of jalis, arches, canopies and motifs.
