By early day of April this year, it is likely that new retail shops will be launched at domestic and international airport in Chennai. The necessary works to set up such shops are being carried out and shall get over by month end.

Along the domestic terminal, about 42 shops are to be opened. These inauguration works are to be done as per the new tender which is floated to improve shop facility at the airport with newer, improved shops. In these shops, there are going to encompass reputed brands and utility shops as well.

Likewise, new shop set up at the international terminal is being carried out, but it may take longer than the domestic terminal.

Changed locations are given for master concessionaire in order to add more brands. The spots are larger in size when compared to the existing ones, and are located in places easily accessible for the people.

According to a senior AAI official, soon, the works are to get over. By April this year, the shops will be open for public. Works are carried out as per the schedule. And by end of the next month, the scheduled works will get over. In these new shops, the products will be sold at better rates. Hope there are going to be no complaints out of the new shops. The existing shortfall of shops will probably get eliminated with the opening of this terminal.

Once these shops are opened, the AAI rating will probably get improved.

The new outlets shall have

  • Better brands
  • Modern contemporary designs
  • Improved layouts
  • Better accessibilities

The pricing will also be better as there prevail many complaints about high-priced products at the Chennai Airport shops currently.

Brands like Samsonite, Accessorize London, Hidesign, etc. are set to open up shops here. There is also a shop by Higginbothams.

The commuters do not find the existing shops convenient. Higgibothams and a few other companies have in fact requested the master concessionaire to get back.
