New International Arrival terminal to be operational soon

New terminals in Chennai Airport were inaugurated in 2013 but the arrival hall of the new international terminal was not operated. So, while the departures and arrival operations for the domestic and the departures for the international travel were shifted to the new terminals, international arrivals alone continued in the old terminal. Now it has been decided to operate the arrival hall of the new international terminal.
Customs and immigration departments have been approached to speed up their work connected with the shifting. Air India will be one of the first airlines to shift to the arrival hall of the new international terminal.
Unlike the domestic terminal, the international terminal has only one baggage ramp to facilitate the movement of baggage between the aircraft and terminal. If the modifications are not carried out, then there will certainly be congestion at the arrival hall.
