Chennai’s airport game must take off post-haste

Chennai's airport remains an exception with poor facilities while other metro airports like Mumbai and NCR have improved.

Tamil Nadu's DMK government rejected privatisation of Chennai airport in 2005-06, leaving it under AAI management.

Passengers arriving at Chennai airport must haul luggage and ride buggies to a cramped area to hail taxis or public transport.

The airport is described as permanently under-construction with insufficient seating and prolonged upgrades.
