A frequent train service to London’s Liverpool Street will be inaugurated once the two-platform station is commissioned next month. The 131-room hotel will provide high quality facilities for airport passengers as well as for local businesses. In an ambitious and innovative concept is has been designed to incorporate both 3-star facilities and a separate 5-star executive floor with 12 suites. A new passenger building is also planned offering an integrated complex of station, airport terminal and hotel.
