Reliance Connects Durgapur Airport with Wi-Fi Internet Connectivity

Durgapur airport which is also known as - Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport, gets connected with the world via technologically advanced Wi-Fi internet connectivity. It is supposed to be made available as a free service. The service is provided by Reliance Jio Infocom Limited (RJIL) services. RJIL is an initiative by Reliance Industries Limited (RLI) that is supposed to assist passengers at the Durgapur airport, to enjoy the digital services that the company has built, comprising of specially designed applications and its rich content that runs on fiber based high speed data networks. The service has been launched very recently. The service is available to the air passengers who will be using the airport in transit. They can get connected to the internet for no charges. They will just need to verify with an SMS that will let them connect and use Wi-Fi. The login remains activated for 24 hours but again get connected after thirty minutes of de-activity.

Talking of the world’s scenario, in an Aerotropolis, when the hundreds of thousands of daily flyers are added on a regular basis, the consumer populations of many gateway airports become larger than most medium sized cities. The rise of the airport city in addition to incorporating an expanding variety of shopping, leisure and business support venues into passenger terminals, airports are continuing to develop their public access property with hospitality, entertainment, and recreation clusters, office and retail complexes, conference and exhibition centres, and facilities for processing time sensitive goods. Some private sector has also joined in, developing similar facilities just beyond the airport fence. 

The Managing Director Mr. Partha Ghosh, of Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Limited has given this Aerotropolis project its position that it long deserved. Other than the airport, the project also has a great residential complex called Sujalaam Skycity. The Aerotropolis consists of office buildings, hotels, and a park, with a multi-specialty medical centre and a theme park. Airport management is planning further development of offices, hotels, shopping and possibly convention facilities on a large tract near its passenger terminal. 

The lower floors of Skycity provide a big retail centre, including a screen theatre. Above this is Class-A office space with a big floor area. Future stages are supposed to be having a business park, hotels and leisure and entertainment facilities to be developed. Mr. Partha Ghosh, says – very soon, the Sujalaam skycity is supposed to see all the other amenities of a modern Aerotropolis.
