After protracted delay, plaza at Chennai airport gets nod, likely to be opened in 2 weeks
Chennai airport is set to open a new plaza and a second cab pick-up point within two weeks following a two-year delay. The project aims to resolve passenger complaints regarding the current, inconvenient cab boarding arrangements.
Why it matters
Infrastructure improvements at major transit hubs are critical for passenger experience and operational efficiency in growing urban centers.
After a near two-year delay, Chennai airport’s plaza, which will house the second cab pick-up point, has finally received approval and is likely to be opened in two weeks. The facility’s launch has been among the most sought after demand of air passengers for several months now.
Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said they had requested the Minister of Civil Aviation Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu to inaugurate the plaza, and soon after that, the second cab-pick up point would be made available to air passengers. “The AAI headquarters in New Delhi has given approval for the opening of the plaza and asked us to make preparations for the same,” an official said.
