Passengers who come to Chennai airport are put into great distress because the centre ramp construction is not completed. Because of this there is an overlap of international and domestic passenger traffic, leading to congestion at the airport. Because of this congestion, the passengers are unnecessarily forced to pay the parking charge as well. They face this problem especially around 5 a.m. when there is a lot of domestic and international traffic. Around 15,000 vehicles enter and exit the airport every day.
The booth system which mandates that every vehicle must enter and exit the airport within seven minutes failing which they pay a parking fee depending on their vehicle size, puts passengers in a fix.
Officials at airport say that the construction of the centre ramp will be completed in two months.
