Construction of Shibpur and Car Nicobar terminal buildings complete

Reportedly, the construction of terminal buildings at Shibpur in North Andaman and Car Nicobar in Nicobar have been completed, and flight operations are likely to commence in July 2024. It is aimed to enhance inter-island connectivity. A private company has already been selected as the designated operator to operate a 19-seater fixed-wing aircraft between Port Blair and Shibpur and Port Blair to Car Nicobar. The terminal buildings are also planned to have an in-line baggage handling system to streamline passenger processing.
