Security Behaiviour Towards Passengers
Upgrade to International Airport
Bhubaneswar is known as the city of temples. Many tourist visit Bhubaneswar only for its temples, monuments and neat and clean, pollution-free city. So if the airport is upgraded into international airport soon, it will be easy for the people of other countries to land directly and it will save their time and money.
Bhubaneswar Airport- Small But Neat And Tidy
I have availed Bhubaneswar’s Domestic Airport quite a few times. The amenities may be simple but fair enough seeing its domestic airport status. Waiting room is well planned and seating arrangement is very scrupulously done. The restaurant by the side of the meeting room is also very good in etiquette and food quality. The air port employees are very well behaved, decent and ready to help in case of a problem. I am shocked to find just an airport in the beautiful state of Orissa. Seeing the propensity of Oriya people, the state must be uplifted in Aviation sector. This airport must be upgraded to international one while few more commercial airports must be constructed in the state.
Information
Bhubaneswar air port is very good and fully secure air port in India, creating no problems. From Bhubaneswar railway station to the airport, the auto-rickshaw fare is 40 rupees (approx 1.0 US Dollar) and the taxi fare is 100 rupees (approx 2.5 US Dollars). Do not get cheated by some unscrupulous drivers who ask exorbitant prices when they see foreign tourists. Though not quite at par with international airports, the ambiance is good with ample and comfortable seating arrangements and a good announcement system. The cafeteria is neat and mostly serves Indian type food but delicious and fresh. If the food feels stale or recycled, just inform the courteous manager and it is replaced in no time. Be prepared for a thorough body and cabin baggage check by a bunch of polite and well mannered security personnel. Since the airport is small, you have to walk from the terminal building to the aircraft or the other way round – which during peak summers may be a little uneasy.

The Security Officers Of Jet Airways
Once I have traveled to Bhubaneswar and I was astonished to see the behaviour of the Jet security employees – they’re very arrogant towards passengers.

Good Place
Very good facility available. Due to central and state governments’ lack of political will it is not declared international airport. I recommend every one to visit Bhubaneswar at least once.
I hail from Bhubaneswar and very frequently used to travel in and out of Bhubaneswar. I am not at all pleased with the security in the Airport. Last time when I was about to checkin I was asked for the checkin luggage bag but the Security guard who checked my bag might had forgotten to place the stamp. I asked the security officer who was a lady that can you please give me some space out there so that i could walk out for the same reason but she very arrogantly looked and told you better walk and we cant send you through air. I asked her what is this then she reciprocated by saying behave nicely to the lady and also showed me her uniform power, I reported the same to the other officer who accepts the fault but the way she treated was very much different and hurting. It makes the journey completely unhappy. Uniform is given for duty not for showing off the power.
