With increased rush during the festivities, the families of travellers dropping off or welcoming them at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport face discomfort due to lack of basic amenities.

Facilities such as free drinking water, easily accessible restrooms at convenient distances, and the seating arrangements are hard to find right outside the arrival and departure gates of the ‘international’ airport.

People at the airport are forced to sit on the floor, and bring carpets and chairs from home due to the lack of a waiting lounge.

The relatives and friends who come to see the passengers are forced to buy water bottles at double the retail prices at the airport.
