Chennai Metro Rail Limited plans to introduce airport check-in facility at the Central Metro station. According to CMRL officials, passengers can complete check-in procedures, collect their boarding passes at this station, take the Metro to the airport, get security clearance at the terminal and board the flight.
 
There is a five-level terminal Metro Rail station, spread over 17,300 sq. m., coming up at the airport. But Metro Rail work at the airport stands suspended as CMRL terminated the contract awarded to Lanco Infratech Limited due to delay in execution of the work.
 
If the work resumes soon at the airport Metro station and its progresses as per schedule at the Chennai Central Metro station, then the airport-rail link will be a reality in Chennai by 2015.
