ZIA in disarray


A few days back, I went to Zia International Airport to receive one of my relatives. As usual, the newly extended terminal of ZIA was buzzing with people who were waiting for their near and dear ones. After reaching the terminal, I became bamboozled, as there was no electronic display board from where one could know about the whereabouts of flights. How can people know whether their expected fight has landed or not without the display board? A tiny information box is there, consisting of two people ,but that can hardly meet the curiosity of hundreds of people. Finding no other alternative, I stood outside the terminal and was hoping against the hope that my expected flight landed on due time.

I think the easy way to avoid this hassle is to erect a modern electronic display board , clearly citing the latest location of the flights.

To mitigate the sufferings of people, the airport authorities should take appropriate steps.
