Jaipur International Airport Consultancy

Project Overview

‍

As part of a broader masterplanning exercise for Jaipur International Airport, 1PAX was commissioned by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) to conduct diagnostic and feasibility studies for Terminal 1, alongside a territorial and operational strategy addressing Terminals 1, 2, and 3. The commission, developed within a competition framework, focused on evaluating existing conditions and defining a strategic roadmap to support the airport’s long-term growth. Located in Sanganer, approximately 12 km from Jaipur’s city center, the airport serves a significant and steadily growing passenger base, positioning it as a key regional infrastructure.

Key Challenge

‍

Terminal 1, originally conceived for cargo handling and Haj operations, no longer met contemporary operational, safety, or passenger experience standards. The building was in a state of physical and functional obsolescence, with spatial layouts and technical systems misaligned with current IATA requirements. At the airport scale, the challenge extended to anticipating future traffic growth while ensuring coherent integration between terminals, airside capacity, and landside operations.

Our Approach

‍

1PAX developed a comprehensive diagnostic framework to assess spatial organization, passenger flows, safety conditions, and operational performance. The feasibility study explored scenarios for refurbishment and retrofitting, prioritizing clarity of circulation, functional zoning, and improved amenities. At the territorial and masterplan level, the team evaluated apron configuration and aircraft capacity, proposing strategic enhancements to support increased traffic while maintaining operational efficiency. Throughout the process, the approach remained human-centered, combining technical rigor with a clear focus on passenger comfort, safety, and intuitive movement.
