It is located in the southern suburb of Sanganer, which is located 13 km (8.1 mi) from Jaipur.[7] The airport was granted the status of international airport on 29 December 2005.[8] The airport's apron can accommodate 14 aircraft, and the new integrated terminal building can handle up to 1,000 passengers at peak hours.[9]

Runway

Runways at Jaipur International Airport

Runway Number	Length	Width	Approach Lights/ILS
9/27	3,407 m (11,178 ft)	45 m (148 ft)	CAT III-B / CAT III-B

The airport's runway is (9/27) and is 11,178 feet (3,407 m) long. Runway 9/27 became operational from 15 September 2016 to handle bigger aircraft like the Boeing 747 to take off and land from Jaipur Airport after the completion of the runway extension from 9,174 feet (2,796 m) to 11,178 feet (3,407 m) in order to handle Boeing 777s.[10] The runway 9/27 is CAT-IIIB instrument landing system (ILS) compliant. This facilitates the landing of aircraft on a runway visibility range (RVR) of up to 50 metres (160 ft) during fog. Earlier this was 550 metres (1,800 ft), benefiting airlines in terms of increased safety and avoiding diversions to other airports resulting in better operational and environmental efficiency.[11] CAT III B became operational from 8 December 2016. A taxiway has been planned for Jaipur Airport, parallel to runway 9/27 to deal with its air traffic congestion.[12] The work will be completed in the end of May 2018,[13] after the completion the airport will be able to accommodate 16 flights in an hour.[14]

Terminals

Terminal 2

The new domestic terminal building at the airport was inaugurated on 1 July 2009.[15][16] The new terminal has an area of 22,950 square metres (247,000 sq ft) with facilities such as a central heating system, central air conditioning, an inline x-ray baggage inspection system integrated with the departure conveyor system, inclined arrival baggage claim carousels, escalators, a public address system, a flight information display system, CCTV for surveillance, airport check-in counters with Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE), car parking, etc.^{[citation needed]} The domestic terminal building has a peak hour passenger handling capacity of 500 passengers and an annual handling capacity of 400,000. The entrance gate is made of sandstone and Dholpur stones along with Rajasthani paintings on the walls.^{[citation needed]} The terminal is currently integrated to allow both international and domestic flights. To manage the hordes of VIP's who fly in and out of the Pink City, the airport has three VIP lounges to ensure that the visiting guests and commuters do not cause inconvenience to each other.[17] Terminal 2 is spread over twenty three thousand meter square in area and has 14 airport check-in counters, six immigration counters, four customs counters, and four security counters that can easily accommodate the passenger traffic at the airport and provide them a hassle free experience.[18]

Terminal 1

Terminal 1 used to operate international flights until July 2012, when the airport authorities decided to shift the international flights to the newly built Terminal 2 to reserve Terminal 1 for cargo operations.[19] After four years, in 2017, the airport administration began preparations to resume commercial flight operations in the old terminal due to increasing passenger load on Terminal 2.[19] Presently, only Hajj and cargo flights are operated from Terminal 1. To shift the flights to Terminal 1, a part of the cargo operations will have to be shifted from there.[20] Renovation work of Terminal 1 started in December 2017 and there are plans to make it operational by May 2019. Terminal 1 will be renovated in Rajasthani look.[19][21] After the completion of renovation, Terminal 1 will be fully upgraded and expanded to 18,000 square meters and it will cater to only international departures and arrivals.[22]

Air cargo complex

Beginning from 16 July 2012, Terminal 1 was closed to passenger traffic and was remodeled to handle solely cargo operations.[23] The cargo terminal is adjacent to the old passenger terminal building and has an area of approximately 700 square metres (7,500 sq ft).^{[citation needed]} The cargo facility is being provided by Rajasthan Small Scale Industries, a public sector undertaking of Government of Rajasthan. To shift the flights to Terminal 1, a part of the cargo operations will have to be shifted from here.

Modernisation and expansion of terminals

The current Terminal 2 will be expanded in a width of around 20 meters on each side. A new hall will be made in the departure area and 3 conveyor belts will be established in the arrival area with 2 new aerobridges to ease passenger movement.[24] The work will be completed by May. The new departure area is spread in 2,700 square metres while the arrival area was constructed in an area of nearly 23,000 square feet.[25]

A new integrated third terminal with amenities will come up in the following years, with an area seven times larger than Terminal 2, which will negate the need for passenger operations at previous Terminals 1 and 2.^{[citation needed]}
