Nagpur airport will shift all vehicles picking up arriving passengers to General Parking Lane 2 from November 16 as refurbishment work at the Central Dome temporarily affects the existing arrivals pick-up area. The airport has also closed the left turn from Airport South Metro Station towards Khamla through Airport Arrivals Road until further notice.
The changes were announced through a public advisory issued by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport. Passengers arriving at the airport will have to direct their pick-up vehicles to General Parking, Lane 2, instead of using the existing arrivals pick-up zone, which may remain temporarily closed during the refurbishment work.
Motorists have been asked to follow directional signage installed within the airport premises. Vehicles leaving General Parking must use the second exit gate on the Gate No. 2 side and then follow the directions displayed on site.
The traffic diversion will affect commuters travelling from Airport South Metro Station towards Khamla. The left turn through the arrivals side of the airport will remain closed while the refurbishment work continues. Commuters using this route have been advised to take alternate roads.
The revised movement plan separates passenger pick-up activity from the affected arrivals-side access area. For arriving passengers, this means coordinating with drivers at General Parking Lane 2 rather than waiting at the usual pick-up location. For motorists, the airport has indicated that on-site signs will guide access and exit movements.
The airport has advised passengers departing from Nagpur to plan their journeys in advance and allow additional time to reach the terminal because of the possibility of traffic congestion around the changed access routes. The advisory did not specify an end date for the temporary pick-up arrangement or the road diversion.
The changes have been linked to ongoing refurbishment of the Central Dome. The airport said further updates would be shared through its official channels as work progresses. Until a new announcement is issued, passengers and commuters will need to use General Parking Lane 2 for arrivals pick-ups and alternate routes around the closed left turn.
