TRV Airport Terminal 1 - Congestion at Pickup/Drop Off Area

TRV Airport Terminal 1 - Congestion at Pickup/Drop off Area Due to Runway Resurfacing, all flights at TRV are scheduled between 6pm and 9am. Additionally, at Terminal 1, the departure drop off Area is blocked due to construction. This is causing congestion and bottleneck within the pathway. I've had this personal experience when more than 9 minutes were lost in the congestion and I was forced to pay INR 100 at the exit. Like many other users, i felt it unjust and wrote to Airport Management. They claimed to be studying this matter for a week and then replied that the congestion is caused by those parking outside the gate. They appeared to be ignoring the bottlenecks created inside the airport premises Though the Airport management stated that they are working on adding more lanes at entrance and exit, they were not ready to clarify if the work would be finished immediately as the runway resurfacing works would extend until March. This alone would not solve the problem as the departure area is fully blocked for construction and only very less area is available for pickup and drop off considering the rush caused due to rescheduling of flights. There is a good chance that one would end up paying 100 rupees at the exit which the Airport Managenent doesnt want to lose. Else they would have considered extending the free time by a minute or two when there are visible inconveniences.
