๐ข Terminal Information
Akola Airport (AKD) serves the city of Akola in Maharashtra with a compact passenger terminal primarily supporting regional operations and general aviation. Landside, a small departures hall houses airline checkโin counters and baggage drop; after security screening, passengers proceed to a simple airside lounge before groundโlevel boarding via stairs or a short bus ride to remote stands. Arrivals route to a basic baggage reclaim area and exit to the forecourt.\n\nThe layout is straightforward and walkable. From curb or parking to checkโin typically takes 2โ3 minutes. From security to the nearest boarding points is about 3โ5 minutes, and to remote stands around 5โ7 minutes including transfer when used.
