The AAI or Airport Authority of India hasn`t hired enough taxi services and as a result of this the passengers who arrive at Chennai airport during the night time are facing issues in getting a cab to reach their destinations. It must be noted that the passengers have got just 2 options available like hiring a cab using an application or using the pre-paid taxis run by drivers cooperative.

There are many options available for the passengers arriving at the airports in several other metro cities in India except Chennai. This is because of the convenient pick-up points available. The drivers belonging to application based cab services often cancel the trips of the customers arriving in the night time at the Chennai airport. In addition to this, the pre-paid cab services are expensive.

The issue of getting proper cabs based on application after landing in Chennai in the night has been a big issue for many international travellers. The lack of availability of local mobile connection to book online cabs has been creating issues for these from foreign nations. It is true that many passengers who arrive at night in Chennai airport are harassed by the cab drivers. 

In addition, the pick-up points at the international arrivals at the Chennai airport are always cramped. This was according to a frequent traveller. The ongoing construction work near the terminals at the airport has made the cab drivers pick up the passengers a little late. The passengers have left with no other options except using prepaid taxi services that are expensive.

It was brought out by another passenger that the Chennai airport must offer counters to application based taxis. By this, travellers without having local mobile connection would also be befitted as they would be able to book the book taxis easily.
