Land reclamation receives nearly \u20b925,000 crore. Operations involve dredging vast seabed volumes, totaling millions of cubic meters. Rock and sand layers follow and compact for strength. The artificial island is built to endure 200-knot jet engine thrust, cyclones up to 200 km\/h, and nonstop wave action. Rigorous geotechnical assessments are designed to ensure decades of structural resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Core construction absorbs \u20b920,000 crore. Two parallel runways, each over 3.5 km long, allow continuous operations and support widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A350, enabling fast landing, taxiing, and takeoff cycles. Terminals spread across vast areas with modern check-in halls, faster security flows, and passenger lounges. Cargo zones include climate-controlled bays for fish, fruits, and vaccines, with a yearly capacity of 3 million metric tons, making it India\u2019s largest air freight hub. Supporting systems such as radar domes, control towers, fuel farms, and fire stations are built to ICAO standards, meeting global benchmarks for safety and operational flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scale_and_Operating_Capacity_of_the_Proposed_Airport\"><\/span><b>Scale and Operating Capacity of the Proposed Airport<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90 million passengers roll through annually. Mornings buzz with Delhi and Ahmedabad feeders. Afternoons pack Mumbai shuttles. Evenings see long-haul from Europe, US, Southeast Asia. Families head coastside, execs chase deals, tourists hit beaches. Runways turn flights every 5 minutes at peak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What powers non-stop ops? Two parallel runways over 3.5 km each. How about widebodies? Boeing 777s and A350s get smooth land-taxi-takeoff cycles. This hub airlifts it all. Perishables stay fresh, and high-value cargo avoids risk.\u00a0 3 million tons mean exporters ditch slow ships or clogged roads. Speed wins markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strategic_Location_Advantage_of_the_Airport\"><\/span><b>Strategic Location Advantage of the Airport\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location nails it.
