TRICHY: As railways step up to install Wifi system in all stations, the Trichy International Airport has also come up with a similar plan. Airport authorities have sought help from government operator BSNL, for which tenders have been called.
The city airport is undergoing a complete makeover as there has been a spike in number of passengers coming from abroad, said officials. As part of the plan, authorities are introducing Wifi facility at the airport. "The proposal to introduce Wifi at the city airport is in the final stage, and DGCA has given its approval," a senior official said. The service will be similar to the ones provided at other airports in the country as well as in abroad. Passenger can use internet free of cost for the first half-and-hour and should avail a card from Internet Service Provider for further usage of the service, he added. Tenders have been called to enable the airport authorities to procure equipment required for setting up the Wifi facility, said the official. BSNL staffs have been roped in by other organizations for setting up Wifi spots at important places in the region. Thanjavur Big Temple in the delta region was marked as a hotspot, where BSNL will be jointly sharing revenue with the temple authorities.
However for the city airport, the AAI officials will be procuring equipment and revenue will be added to the airport's kitty, with separate officials recruited for it.
