One more reason to be a proud Chennaite , beautifully filmed and yes, hope they maintain the airport and hope the public will also contribute by following the rules. Most of all hope the airport staff also takes equal responsibility by working efficiently in the maintenance and operations of the airport.
This looks quite good. I don't have insane hate for the Chennai airport like many does. I fancy utility and function over fancy and the airport is quite efficient.
Thank you for watching😃Yes, you are correct, though I feel the need for more shops and restaurants at the new terminal. We barely have anything to choose from.
@@aerowanderer Airport is spacious enough .The connecivity beween the Termanils is really far beter than terminals in other Metros.Whts is sucking is the Roof Design and its colors ,the unprofessional kolam pattern and is colors in the chekc in area. The sklight is looking weird.The other area are ok.I feel the roof and floor deisgn in T1 & T4 check in areas are far professional than this.They roof and skylight just looks like a colored shed or godown .The nasty roof & floor design is constructed in the name Tmail culture by the airport authorities.
Definitely the standards seem better but some character is missing. Particularly around how everything is integrated around a theme: Mumbai and Delhi airports are amazing for that. They are able to easily convey the theme
@vipinswammy-dn4jy you are so right. This is what I meant by how everything should be integrated around a theme. This is vital for modern design and airports. Just standalone artwork or decorative elements will not work out. Imagine how amazing it would have been if they had made the airport have elements that look like Mahabalipuram caves etc while coming back from aero bridge- on that note, Mumbai airport has a section that appears like medieval Indian forts and cave temples, while walking to the domestic gates.
any facts to back that up? considering this is india, we have better metro stations more cleaned than west, airport are also cleaned and well maintained i don't know on what basis you said this Indians don't follow rules until they are being strictly implemented like in Metro systems and Airports On roads we see how uncivilized indians act@@ayaananw
What is the reason behind your negative opinion on the construction quality? The construction was done by L&T, which is a well-known company, so the quality should be great.
@@usee_6423 if you have visited a few international airports, you would know the difference. Lots of unfinished glass fixtures, construction equipment and other items left without any safety warnings or barricades around.
@sujathaviswanathan7210 Mumbai and Delhi? Really? Delhi is beyond horrible. Bangalore is awesome. But within city limits you can't expect huge renovation easily. We need to see how the new airport pans out. But Chennai is really substance over style. I rarely need to spend more than 20 mins to finish checkin, immigration and security check even at the busiest times. I believe one who went to Delhi airport anytime would say about the horrible waiting time.
@@v.rajasekar5044 God, it’s so tacky with all the bright colours everywhere! I get a headache everytime I pass through it! Mopa Goa and Kempegowda Bengaluru are easily the best airport terminals in India right now! Chennai airport has pathetic passenger service like Mumbai and Delhi! Again, why was the international terminal so garishly designed? Then again, It’s AAI, not GMR or BIAL to come up with better designs!
@@sujathaviswanathan7210true. Not a big fan of the architecture though. Despite that, I always had the least trouble with chennai one. From almost anywhere in Chennai, it doesn't take more than 40 mins even at peak hours. Even better from metro connected areas. Queues are objectively better. My worst has always been Delhi. I dread anytime I need to go to Delhi. And time to reach Bangalore airport is simply insane. It takes as much time for me to go from HSR to airport as actual flight time to Dubai😅. I travel quite a lot both domestically and internationally. Keeping this into account I almost always prefer Chennai whenever I can.
Chennai airport should bring back the Viewers gallery ! I still remember in late 90s and early 2000s I go there(during send off parties) by taking an entry ticket for visitors and they allow upto a tower where you could see the flights take off and land. I watch the Indian Airlines ( now Air India ) in operation at the gate and how mesmerising those views were. I guess even till 2010 they were allowing people who come to send off their kith and kin , after which, I don’t know whether it was an order passed by DGCA or AAI , the entry to visitors were closed I guess it was after 2008 that Mumbai attack (not sure if that was the reason) they brought in strict rules for every airport in India. Actually why am telling this is, People who come to drop off / send off their sons/daughters/friends/relatives are really struggling to get seated around or the lack of proper ventilation at the terminals, being in a coastal area with high humidity is definitely stressful for public and senior citizens. And with the opening of new terminal though it was fantastic inside the struggle is still there outside where people couldn’t even get some water to quench their thirst and no proper ventilation at this new terminal. And with more modern technologies it should be easy to install heat exchangers at particular places so that people who come for send off and drop off will breathe some fresh air. At least (keeping in mind)for the senior citizens. Not enough chairs outside this new terminal. I request the airport authorities to at-least let woman and senior citizens inside the terminal or open the viewing gallery area we had earlier with an entry ticket such that they can interact with their loved ones until they pass through the security check gate
Hello Siddharth😃 Thank you for the comment. We had a viewing gallery at the terminal-3 if I recall, which was known as the old Anna International terminal. We could buy tickets and visit the gallery up there. I remember visiting it in 2019. We also used to have a few eateries up there. Though these days having viewing galleries is becoming uncommon. The matter of people coming in to drop or send off are not able to enter the terminal is because of the security rules in place in India. In places such as KL or SIN or BKK you can enter the terminal up to where the passengers go for immigration. But yes, there could be seats and even a water dispenser. But we also need to consider the downside which is the huge scale of crowd that we deal with.
@@aerowanderer totally agree with your point 🙌🏽 ‘crowd factor’ is one thing we need to consider here and I guess the new AeroHub could cater large masses but I don’t think how many would utilise the services offered by the multiplex. And like you said , I had seen in AUH and DXB airport where anyone could simply enter the terminal gates and after which only ticket holders will be allowed to cross a point beyond the automatic checkpoint for baggage drop and immigration but Chennai we can’t expect that to happen any sooner and the work of CISF security at entrance gates will be at stake. Keep up the work mate ! Hardly we find such quality content about our Airport ✈️ your videos can sure bring some attention towards progress !
@@aerowanderer Yes, you're right...the security angle has to be considered..But this can be done by letting the visitors after scrutiny like Aadhar Card verification etc..I remember my friend was allowed inside the Bangkok Airport Departure lounge to send me off, even Upto the last Immigration-Boarding Pass check ..!
Wow. Amazing virtual tour. So keen to understand how the new terminal looks. Looks pretty good. With proper maintenance and overhaul of T3 im sure Chennai airport will be on par with other modern airports in the country and world. Thank you for this awesome and detailed presentation
Unfortunately some areas are totally passanger unfriendly. One has to carry ones hand luggage, buy 3 idlies and coffee for Rupees 480.00 andctry to carry ot 100 feet to nearest sitting are where only sofas are provided. Otherwise risk leaving your bag unattended while you stand at the stall andceat tge food. This vould be sol ed by providing hand luggage trolleys or table and chairs neat the only 4 food stalls. I was also happily told during my 2 departures in last 1 month that the advertised free wifi is not working.
Very fantastic effort and coverage - whats missing is - the rest room availability and cleanliness, and the private taxi connecting, auto exit connecting which is normal in the other airports thats pretty easy.
Thank you for watching😃 1.There are restrooms present in both the mezzanine as well as the ground floor departure gates. I had used the one on the mezzanine level, it was spacious and well maintained at the time. Hopefully it does stay the same way. 2.Autos aren’t allowed inside the airport premises. It has always been the same. Both pick up and drop off are near the entry of the airport before the parking/tool booth. Hope it’s clear now😃
Awesome. Very proud to see our new integrated airport.we can Walk with pride. Hats off to the amazing designers. Very neatly photographed and the explanation super. Thanks for sharing
Chennai airport has a long way to go before they can catch up with other major airports in the country. Chennai airport is nowhere near the airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore. It has no direct connections to anywhere in the US, Australia or South Africa. Connections to Hongkong, Mauritius and Japan have been withdrawn. For the last 20 years they were talking about a new airport in Sriperumbudur. Today they are talking about Parandur. This will go on for another decade or so.
Bro..See AW didn't reply to your comments. What you said is absolutely true and fact !!! Chennai is nowhere to compete with giant HYD or BLR. Let's hope at least maintain this airport. We have to wait for another PVT Adani airport in Chennai City perhaps another decade..🥰
what can you expect if the local people protest for everything and cry like anything and blame on central government , the fact is central government is working very hard to develop each and every state but local roadside politician act like illiterate rowdy
I don't think Bangalore, Hyderabad have direct connectivity to Hong Kong or New York or Sydney. Only Delhi has most of the direct flights to far away places. Other than that Munbai and Chennai have the highest direct flight connectivities to international destinations. Closely followed by Bangalore and Hyderabad is still bit far in that regards. In Infra wise, new airports of Bangalore and Hyderabad are miles better than Delhi Mumbai Chennai and Kolkata.
@@v.rajasekar5044Bangalore has direct flights to Hong Kong Sydney Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, San Francisco Tokyo and many more flights in the international region. Bangalore has the 3rd most direct international and domestic connectivity in India
Recently flew out. It was chaotic Outside getting a cart to unload from car. The luggage cart has to be stored ijn several in several places near various entrances. Currently it’s not the case. Inside looks good the lounge I went near gate 8 seems make shift hope there is a better lounge to be opened. All other seems good including the toilet as of now. Time will tell if our makkal can keep it clean. Good luck chennai.
Thank you for watching😃 1.Correct. Even we found it difficult to find a trolley. Even though there were people present for assistance, none of them bothered to assist. 2.With respect to transport, have always found it difficult upon arrival. It has been disorganised for quite a number of months if not years 3.The lounge is a makeshift one. When I had enquired they had said there was a lounge which was under construction which I think is on the next level. 4. Same observation. The one in the new terminal seems spacious and clean. Goes hand in hand. Passengers as well as the airport management need to work in tandem to maintain it atleast to the level it is😃
Hope immigration folks are better. My husband used to say when he first came to the US in 1996, the immigration officer told these words, Customs officer எங்கே போரே? Husband அமெரிக்கால வேலைக்கு போக்குரேன், Customs officer, போடா போ வெள்ளைகாரணனுக்கு போயி உழை!
Hello maam😃 Talking from my personal experience, I feel Chennai boats some excellent immigration officers in terms of efficiency and service. I’ve never had any unpleasant exchanges with them. Fast forward 27 years now, probably the same immigration officers might have a relative or two in the US now😅
The Airport needs a lots to improve to come up to the standards of an airport like Bangalore Mumbai, this won't happen until privatized . in charge of AAI is v bad idea that they messup totally .
From wer yo ll come to post ths type nonsense .....Bangalore airport is 40km away from bangalore its in devanahalli ...no metro no bmtc buses operates thr toll is high cost only cab n Volvo buses....bangalore to chennai fare is 2k means 1500 is cab yo dont think its so much high cost .....banglore airport is only fr rich ppls ....but chennaai we can operate in local buses metro auto etc ......

To for the video I was searching the departure and arrival part but no one had uploaded the new integrated terminal like this in detail I was pleased to have this kinda video tqqqqqq so much
Fantastic video , I could see the overall efforts , passion and proudness ! Editing, caption and scripting will engage the audience .. thanks for the video
Thank you😃 I agree, though one of the primary reasons is lack of any more room for expansion. We are saturated in terms of space we can use. Plus the current airport is easily accessible from anywhere in the city and also I very well connected in terms of transportation
What about runway developments, with new integrated terminal at Chennai International airport..will it be able to handle airbus 380. Currently only Delhi, Mumbai, bangalore, hyderabad, and cochin have infrastructure to handle airbus 380 in india
We still don’t have enough ground facilities to handle an A380. We do have enough runway length for an A380 to operate but lack adequate taxiways, apron, aerobridge etc.
@@sudipGeorgechennai airport runway is 85years old but still 4rth busiest runway in this country delhi bangalore kochi hyderabad is new runway so 380 able possible there

Sadly airbus has stopped the production of airbus 380 As of 28 June 2022, 129 A380s are in revenue service with seven airlines. It is no surprise that Emirates leads the way with 88 active A380s, or 68% of active aircraft. British Airways has returned its entire fleet of 12 A380s to service, Singapore is operating 10, while Qatar has brought back 8.
Dear AW team...Beautifully filmed our "Chennai Madras Airport" Great ...But, our airport never ever beat Bangalore or Hyderabad Airport ..perhaps, if we construct a new one to compete with these two giant airports in southern India. Best of luck and good job...👌👍👍
new airport is planned in parandur chennai and it would be built by private company but idiots in those areas are protesting from many years , tamilnadu is filled with idiots , previously one expressway was stalled due to protest , many company were closed due to protest
@@usee_6423no bro its more or less same and chennai airport is too small it feels like some village airport and entire chennai is so small don't know why it is called a metropolitan city its just a small town
Positives: Terminal looks clean and bright. Understandable, since it is barely a month old. It remains to be seen how long it stays that way. Clean toilets. Immigration, upon exiting India was extremely fast. It took less than a minute. Negatives: Immigration, upon entering India was extremely slow. It took more than 10 minutes ! They are using the old camera (in a blue box !) from the immigration counters in the old terminal. These camera boxes look VERY ugly. Not at all aesthetic. Air-conditioning is very ineffective, especially in the travel lounges. Even in the rest of the terminal, A/C is not super-effective.
Hello. Thank you for the detailed message. Have to agree with you on most of the points you made. Especially with respect to immigration upon travelling overseas. I’ve always found them very efficient and nothing I’ll to comment on. Though immigration time of 10 minutes is actually efficient. Atleast on comparison with other airports of the same traffic. Also I believe it is to do a lot with the arrival timing😃
The important thing to maintain it and keep clean. Especially restrooms . Another thing , this is Chennai Airport, so instructions on sign board must be in 2 main languages. Tamil and English only!
Looking beautiful now since the time I was traveling from 1986 ,As international traveler ,still lot more changes in the rest room area with all modern technology would be better ,Still immigration system need to updated with computer technology ,self scanning ,fast moving for passengers Already tired with long hr more than 21 hrs .Also respecting travelers with pleasing manner would be good .Comparing with other international Airport this Air port is ok still need. Lot of improvement ,
Description is beautiful, quite informative, sir I am happy to stroll around terminal, sitting in my home . Let me suggest one thing, pl move camara bit slower as ation / writings abruptly removed.
Looks nice, the brand new terminal. Never been at Chennai airport, as I avoid traveling via Chennai from Paris or London. I heard about not so friendly staff at the airport. Hope it has all imrpoved
Now chennai airport got more connectivity flights than Bangalore & Hyderabad good improved I am proud to be an Tamilian native Kanyakumari district then chennai Chromepet then in Shaejah Dubai now in Canada near Toronto Mississauga with Family.....Jesus Yesy Yeshua Yesappa bless all true God going to come vety soon all dearvones
Indians cannot run government facilities, lazy asses, dirty habits from.a very young age is the end product as grown up non professionals. But the same will change 180 degree if privatised. As private companies will kick their butts
Thank you for watching😃I believe there’s a buggy service which the airport operates for free for transportation between T1 and T2. I think it should take just a few minutes as both are next to each other
Nice video ! I ll have an 8h transit in this airport next month. I am wondering wether I need to clear immigration after disembarking my inbound flight or i can walk straight to the boarding area after disembarking. From what i see in your video, after disembarking you walk in the corridor at 09:35 and it seems the only option is to take the escalator to arrival leveL.
There is stark improvement but the layout designs for serviceability and usability is still crying out loud. With exploding numbers in traveller numbers - this will not be able to scope pretty soon. They shd hv embarked on a bigger scale rather than adopt a the usual make little changes as the demand increases. Later airports are designed better than Chennai one of the 4 key airports of yesteryears. Need more bigger airports to be built in Chennai (it has the longest runaway in india but to wat use ??). Chennai & TN tourism shd promote itself to attract more tourism and for that you vl need a much bigger and better airport. Limited seats for borders and fliers in Chennai and other cities too and that's the sad reality Cheers 🥂

Fast forward 27 years now, probably the same immigration officers might have a relative or two in the US now😅
Really beautiful Terminal.😊
The Airport needs a lots to improve to come up to the standards of an airport like Bangalore Mumbai, this won't happen until privatized . in charge of AAI is v bad idea that they messup totally .
From wer yo ll come to post ths type nonsense .....Bangalore airport is 40km away from bangalore its in devanahalli ...no metro no bmtc buses operates thr toll is high cost only cab n Volvo buses....bangalore to chennai fare is 2k means 1500 is cab yo dont think its so much high cost .....banglore airport is only fr rich ppls ....but chennaai we can operate in local buses metro auto etc ......
@@shreenathshree1989 This is how we all make mistake and get satisfied for what ever we get , Chennai was the third largest Airport once upon a time now its in 5th spot after HYD and BLR , thats coz of poor management , please go and have a full tour of the Airport b4 commenting ,
@@prahladnatchuchennai airport and runway is 85years old but blr and hyd new airports and runway out of city also so there available currently facility wait and see new Greenfield airport is coming soon then chennai come to 3rd position
I think according to you the government should also be privatised so that billionaire earns in billions and they will give us in penny.....what say😂
Very good video, everyone expects the new terminal has to be maintained. I hope the existing airlines increase the frequency and new airlines start flights from MAA
Thank you for watching😃 Absolutely💯
To for the video I was searching the departure and arrival part but no one had uploaded the new integrated terminal like this in detail I was pleased to have this kinda video tqqqqqq so much
Kind words🙏🏻 Thank you for watching😃
8:03 that's great 👍
Beautiful video ❤
Thank you for watching😃
Very nice video with details of all the features of the new terminal! Looking forward to using it soon. Great video as usual AW :)
Thank you for watching and your support🤝🏻😃
Fantastic video , I could see the overall efforts , passion and proudness !
Editing, caption and scripting will engage the audience .. thanks for the video
Thank you for your kind words of appreciation and support🤝🏻😃
Super !! The best video I have seen on this terminal so far !
Thank you for the appreciation😃
Wow super👌👍 Very good, fantastic efforts nd coverage. Looking beautiful. Public, airport staffs takes responsibility maintain clean following rules is important. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Nice capture bro. Dunno why they wanna shift the airport though. This looks fabulous.
Thank you😃 I agree, though one of the primary reasons is lack of any more room for expansion. We are saturated in terms of space we can use. Plus the current airport is easily accessible from anywhere in the city and also I very well connected in terms of transportation
Excellent filming and thanks for the efforts taken.
Thank you for watching😃
Thank you for the vlog, never knew there is a new integrated terminal at Chennai, good to know
Thank you for watching😃
Beautiful airport. Another reason to be proud of my country. I hope to visit it soon.
What about runway developments, with new integrated terminal at Chennai International airport..will it be able to handle airbus 380. Currently only Delhi, Mumbai, bangalore, hyderabad, and cochin have infrastructure to handle airbus 380 in india
We still don’t have enough ground facilities to handle an A380. We do have enough runway length for an A380 to operate but lack adequate taxiways, apron, aerobridge etc.
@@aerowanderer ok..👍
@@sudipGeorgechennai airport runway is 85years old but still 4rth busiest runway in this country delhi bangalore kochi hyderabad is new runway so 380 able possible there
@@JayalakshmiK-dm6yo. Not the 4th busiest it's 5 th busiest airport Chennai below hyderabad ,bangalore, Mumbai, delhi.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_International_Airport
Expect for bangalore which handing Emirates 380 .no airport in south including cochin, hyderabad is not handling 380 ..but has operational capacity .. hyderabad only handled a emergency landing of Emirates 380 Bangkok dubai flight...
Sadly airbus has stopped the production of airbus 380
As of 28 June 2022, 129 A380s are in revenue service with seven airlines. It is no surprise that Emirates leads the way with 88 active A380s, or 68% of active aircraft. British Airways has returned its entire fleet of 12 A380s to service, Singapore is operating 10, while Qatar has brought back 8.
amazing coverage i must say but how do u go from t1 to t2?
Good coverage of the new airport terminal at MAA. Hope it is maintained well.
Thank you sir for watching😃
the design and layout reminds me a lot of mumbai airport
mumbai t2 airport is way better than this non sense , it feels like a spaceship
Dear AW team...Beautifully filmed our "Chennai Madras Airport" Great ...But, our airport never ever beat Bangalore or Hyderabad Airport ..perhaps, if we construct a new one to compete with these two giant airports in southern India. Best of luck and good job...👌👍👍
Only benguluru
Lol😹 Chennai airport's new terminal is way better than Hyderabad airport. Even Bangalore's old terminal is better than Hyderabad airport.
new airport is planned in parandur chennai and it would be built by private company but idiots in those areas are protesting from many years , tamilnadu is filled with idiots , previously one expressway was stalled due to protest , many company were closed due to protest
@@usee_6423no bro its more or less same and chennai airport is too small it feels like some village airport and entire chennai is so small don't know why it is called a metropolitan city its just a small town
At last a modern airport. It was the premier in the south but now it is no 3
Great video!! Hope to visit chennai and experience this new terminal!!
Thank you Vengi😃Hope to see you soon🤝🏻
We love Chennai
Thank you. I am just in time to arrive here and this is useful.
Thank you for watching😃
tn buses like 1950 old buses
Can you do one for Banglore T2 also?
Yes, will do soon😃
I Love Chennai And Tamilnadu
We need madurai to travel all over the world to develop madurai tourism development sir
Positives:
Terminal looks clean and bright. Understandable, since it is barely a month old. It remains to be seen how long it stays that way.
Clean toilets.
Immigration, upon exiting India was extremely fast. It took less than a minute.
Negatives:
Immigration, upon entering India was extremely slow. It took more than 10 minutes !
They are using the old camera (in a blue box !) from the immigration counters in the old terminal. These camera boxes look VERY ugly. Not at all aesthetic.
Air-conditioning is very ineffective, especially in the travel lounges. Even in the rest of the terminal, A/C is not super-effective.
Hello. Thank you for the detailed message.
Have to agree with you on most of the points you made. Especially with respect to immigration upon travelling overseas. I’ve always found them very efficient and nothing I’ll to comment on.
Though immigration time of 10 minutes is actually efficient. Atleast on comparison with other airports of the same traffic. Also I believe it is to do a lot with the arrival timing😃
Its beautifull the new terminal, i love this city
Excellent video bro 👏👏👏
Thank you for watching😃
Awesome Coverage!💯♥️✨
Thank you for watching😃
Wow really love it it holds more cultural elements than Banglore and Delhi.
The important thing to maintain it and keep clean. Especially restrooms .
Another thing , this is Chennai Airport, so instructions on sign board must be in 2 main languages.
Tamil and English only!
Proud to be chennaiate
We all are🤝🏻
That was a wonderful video, Aerowanderer! Pretty good coverage.
Thank you for watching Menon😃
Thank you so nice ❤😊 Airport..
Thanks very informative
Thank you for watching😃
Looking beautiful now since the time I was traveling from 1986 ,As international traveler ,still lot more changes in the rest room area with all modern technology would be better ,Still immigration system need to updated with computer technology ,self scanning ,fast moving for passengers Already tired with long hr more than 21 hrs .Also respecting travelers with pleasing manner would be good .Comparing with other international Airport this Air port is ok still need. Lot of improvement ,
Great video tour, the new terminal looks amazing!
wowww.....😍 great job dude
Thank you for watching😃
@@aerowanderer I was searching for this video...for months...and finnally I got it recommended 😁
Thank you !
Looks like a welcome addition. 👍. Thanks for this.
Description is beautiful, quite informative, sir I am happy to stroll around terminal, sitting in my home . Let me suggest one thing, pl move camara bit slower as ation / writings abruptly removed.
Thank you for watching😃
Suggestion duly noted🤝🏻
Been looking forward to this video from you
Thank you😃Hope you enjoyed watching
Paanai mann colour is nice and could have been consistent and replacing mambazham colour.. Metro and Suburban train connections are a huge plus.
Beyond words..
NICE AIRPORT✈️💯💯
Iam very proud to say that my husband worked in international wing
Great to know😀
Wow! This is an excellent airport. Better than some US or UK's airport to be honest.
Looks nice, the brand new terminal. Never been at Chennai airport, as I avoid traveling via Chennai from Paris or London. I heard about not so friendly staff at the airport. Hope it has all imrpoved
Very well picturised
Thank you for watching😃
VERRY GOOD VERY THANKS
Chennai 💘
This airport should be named after DR.ABDULLKALAM.
You know who is Annadurai?
Wonderful 👍 video. Thank you
Thank you for watching😃
Om namashivaya. India rising

Fantastic
Superb 😄, waiting for this only
Thank you for watching😃
Waiting for new prandur airport
One of finest quality Airport
Now chennai airport got more connectivity flights than Bangalore & Hyderabad good improved I am proud to be an Tamilian native Kanyakumari district then chennai Chromepet then in Shaejah Dubai now in Canada near Toronto Mississauga with Family.....Jesus Yesy Yeshua Yesappa bless all true God going to come vety soon all dearvones
Oh pls privatise the airport already!!!!!
Yes
Customs counter is missing in the video, rest everything is nicely covered.. great video 😃
One rain, it will leak and will look like a public hospital
Reality, maintenance is important
Indians cannot run government facilities, lazy asses, dirty habits from.a very young age is the end product as grown up non professionals. But the same will change 180 degree if privatised. As private companies will kick their butts
Beautiful video woooow
Thank you sir😃
Is there a bridge to Metro from the new terminal (T2)?
Yes there is😃
Nice coverage 👍
Nice review without any talk lovey !! And a very good comment at the end about maintaining it 🙏
Thanks for this video. But how to transfer from Terminal 1 (domestic) to terminal 2 (international) and how long could it take?
Thank you for watching😃I believe there’s a buggy service which the airport operates for free for transportation between T1 and T2. I think it should take just a few minutes as both are next to each other
I worked here from 2011 to 2018 as a jet airways staffer.
namma Chennai ya edhi 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳👌👌💪💪👍👍💥💥💥💥💥💯💯💯💯
this airport is worst but still too much for chennai
Very beautiful and useful coverage bro.
Thank you for watching😃
Nice video ! I ll have an 8h transit in this airport next month. I am wondering wether I need to clear immigration after disembarking my inbound flight or i can walk straight to the boarding area after disembarking. From what i see in your video, after disembarking you walk in the corridor at 09:35 and it seems the only option is to take the escalator to arrival leveL.
is this terminal used for international departures ?
Yes. This new terminal also known as T-2 is currently used for all international departures and arrivals
சென்னை ♥️♥️ CHENNAI
Nice Video Bro, hope they bring T3 soon.
What is the equipment used for video here, its nice
There is stark improvement but the layout designs for serviceability and usability is still crying out loud.
With exploding numbers in traveller numbers - this will not be able to scope pretty soon.
They shd hv embarked on a bigger scale rather than adopt a the usual make little changes as the demand increases.
Later airports are designed better than Chennai one of the 4 key airports of yesteryears.
Need more bigger airports to be built in Chennai (it has the longest runaway in india but to wat use ??). Chennai & TN tourism shd promote itself to attract more tourism and for that you vl need a much bigger and better airport. Limited seats for borders and fliers in Chennai and other cities too and that's the sad reality
Cheers 🥂
