Designed with modern amenities, the terminal has 10 immigration counters for outgoing passengers in the departure lobby and 14 in the arrival lobby, in addition to duty-free outlets, lounge, medical room and 24-hour ambulance service.
The CM emphasised the heritage look of the new terminal, showcasing the architecture, sculpture and cultural heritage, which would would attract foreign tourists in large numbers. The participants in the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit-2024, scheduled for December, would also experience this, he said.
