After a two-year delay, Chennai airport’s plaza to be opened on Saturday
Chennai airport is set to open a new plaza opposite the T1 Domestic Terminal on September 12 to serve as a dedicated cab pick-up point. This move aims to resolve passenger dissatisfaction caused by the previous relocation of pick-up services to a distant parking facility.
Why it matters
The infrastructure update addresses significant logistical complaints from air travelers and aims to improve the overall passenger experience at a major transit hub.
Air passengers can finally heave a sigh of relief as Minister of Civil Aviation Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu will inaugurate the plaza housing the second cab pick-up point at Chennai airport on September 12.
This means, air passengers who book cabs, can board from opposite the T1 Domestic Terminal, instead of having to travel to the multilevel car parking. It is to be noted that the cab pick-up point at the west wing of the multilevel car parking too will continue as usual.
With the intention of providing a relaxing area for arriving passengers and visitors, Airports Authority of India (AAI) designed a plaza opposite to the T1 Domestic Terminal. The construction work on the plaza commenced in 2023 and was to be completed in October 2024.
