"Once that was decided, we had less than 11 months to start work on and complete the terminal building. NEW DELHI: Prayagraj, Allahabad's new name, is all set to get the fastest-built airport terminal building in the country, in time for the Kumbh Mela that starts on January 15, 2019. While aiming to complete the terminal in a record 11 months, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has also expanded its plans for the airport by deciding to build more aircraft parking bays than earlier planned. Now we are doing three to four more parking bays," said Mohapatra.The original estimated cost of building the Prayagraj terminal was about Rs 126 crore, which has now gone up by Rs 40 crore. Some months back when a team of aviation ministry officials met UP CM Yogi Adityanath , the latter suggested that a new terminal building to enhance capacity be built at Prayagraj..
