Allahabad town lies between the 250 28’ North latitude to 810 54’ East longitude, 98
MSL founded by Mughal Emperor Akbar in the year 1575 A.D. by the name of
“Illahabas”.The city is located in alluvial plains of river Ganga and Yamuna. Situated
in the Awadh Region of the Uttar Pradesh, Allahabad is synonymous to Sangam. The city
has been named so because it is situated on the confluence of Ganges, Yamuna and
mythical river Saraswati. A holy fair called Kumbh of three types marks the place.The
one that takes place every year is called 'Magh Mela'. Whereas the ones celebrated every
6 years and 12 years are called Ardh-Kumbh and Maha Kumbh respectively.
At present Bamrauli Airport serves as a domestic airport for the city of Allahabad. It is
the Northern High Command Air Base. Currently there are only limited flights from here
to only some cities.
Allahabad as a city is growing every day, it has become financially and economically
strong now, for its better growth and development the city should have connectivity to
the important cities easily by air.
Bamrauli Airport being the Military Air base greatly hinders the Air connectivity because
of the security and other reasons.
Allahabad City is in an urgent need of a Domestic Airport which opens the city into wider
opportunities of developments.
The proposed Airport being nuclei of economic activity in the city should assume a
significant role in the regional and national economy. 97% of the city's foreign tourists
during Kumb mela arrive by air and tourism is city’s one of largest economical factor.
Domestic Airports will also represent city's window on the nation. Passengers form their
first impressions about a city from the state of its airports.

The new Airports will be integrated with other modes of transport like Railways and
Highways, enabling seamless transportation to all parts of the city.

5.1. HISTORICAL

The present city of Allahabad was founded in 1583 by the Mughal emperor Akbar, who named it
al-Ilahābād (“City of God”). It became a provincial capital during the Mughal Empire, and from
1599 to 1604 it was the headquarters of the rebellious prince Salim (later the emperor Jahangir).
Outside Allahabad fort is the tomb built for Jahangir’s rebellious son, Khusru. With the Mughal
decline, Allahabad changed hands many times before being ceded to the British in 1801. The city
was the scene of a great massacre of Indians by the British in mid-1857 during the Indian Mutiny
(1857–58) against British rule. From 1904 to 1949 the city was the capital of the United Provinces
(now Uttar Pradesh). It was a centre of the Indian independence movement against British rule and
was the home of the Nehru family, whose estate, Anand Bhawan, is now a museum.

Tourism has grown in importance in the region, with visitors being drawn to the many historic and
religious sites located within and near the city. The administrative and professional sector and a
military cantonment (base) are located north of the city proper. Allahabad is a major road and rail
hub and is served by a nearby airport.

6. PROJECT BRIEF

6.1. SITE LOCATION

Latitude : 25°28'35.07"N

Longitude: 81°57'34.92"E

Area: 90 acres (approx)

The site is located at 8 km from the main Allahabad city and is connected well by highway and
across the river by bridges.the site is located so as to connect the airport also with the nearby
satellite cities of Allahabad like pratapgarh,banaras,phaphamau,jhunsi etc is situated on the Bela
more , east of Anandbad lake, Darbhanga . The south residences.

6.2. THE PROJECT:

The focus of the proposed project is to link Allahabad with the other major developed cities in
India by the New Airport. Currently there are very few flights from the present Bamrauli
Airport and because of which majority of the people takes rail route which take a lot of time going
to different major cities in India. The new Airport will serve the people with a better
infrastructure and as a city gateway to newer and better opportunities financially and economically.
It will also encourage tourism in the city and cultural activities. The new airport in the future will
be connected to the proposed high speed rail route of delhi-agra-varanasi-patna due to its close
proximity with Varanasi.

 Domestic Airports will represent city's window to the nation.

 Better opportunities for the people and will save travelling time.
 Integrating the airport with other modes of transport like Railways and Highways,
enabling seamless transportation to all parts of the city.
7. CONCLUSION
 Off-late the mode of air-travel has become the principle choice of travel when it comes to
the elite. Air Travel has a perception of being a mean of luxury travel and with people
having large purses, airport design gives a huge scope to the architect to explore several
options and techniques of the modern day.
