Both GIAL and AAI have started the construction of the New Integrated Terminal Building or NITB, along with a host of other development works at their respective airports to increase passenger handling capacity and to improve the services of the airports, according to the Minister of State in the Ministry of Civil Aviation Gen. (Dr) V. K. Singh (Retd) in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha.
