of about 140 metric tonnes of locally sourced Northeast bamboo, complemented by Kaziranga-inspired
green landscapes, japi motifs, the iconic rhino symbol and 57 orchid-inspired columns reflecting the
Kopou flower. A unique “Sky Forest”, featuring nearly one lakh plants of indigenous species, offers
arriving passengers an immersive, forest-like experience.

body scanners for fast, non-intrusive security screening, DigiYatra-enabled contactless travel, automated
baggage handling, fast-track immigration and AI-driven airport operations ensure seamless, secure and
efficient journeys.
