Second cab pick-up point at Chennai airport to open only in September
The opening of a second cab pick-up point at Chennai airport has been delayed until September to align with a high-level ministerial inauguration. Officials are also prioritizing the resolution of passenger complaints and infrastructure improvements before the launch.
Why it matters
Infrastructure delays at major transit hubs directly affect passenger convenience and operational efficiency.
The wait to access the second cab pick-up point at Chennai airport grows even longer as it is set to miss the August deadline too. Though the facility is ready and has received approval, it is likely to get inaugurated only in September this year.
AAI officials said, since the top brass from the Ministry of Civil Aviation will inaugurate the event, planning needs to be done and hence the opening has been pushed to September. “It definitely won’t get delayed beyond September,” an official said.
Sources said that the AAI officials from New Delhi also want all the issues that passengers have been facing at Chennai airport to be resolved before the ministry officials come to inaugurate the event. The delay to open this boarding point has been one of the biggest complaints of air passengers in recent times.
