The Airline Operators Committee has approached the Civil Aviation Ministry with concerns about the new international terminal at the Chennai Airport. A shortage of staff in many departments at the airport seems to be the problem.
According to officials, ‘The new terminal will open in mid-May but may not operate separately and will require the old terminal to function for a while. The new international terminal will not have an inline baggage screening system. We are also unsure how procedures including check-in, customs, security and immigration can be carried out in both terminals without disturbing passengers.’
