Maran complains to Union Minister about long queues at Chennai airport 

MP seeks direction to AAI to speed up modernisation work

27/02/2020 , Staff Reporter, CHENNAI

DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran has written to Union Minister for Civil Aviation Hardeep Singh Puri, raising concerns about passenger congestion at Chennai airport.

In a letter to Mr. Puri on Wednesday, he said, “I would like to bring to your attention the terrible passenger congestion at the Chennai airport and how many passengers are suffering because of the long periods they have to wait during security checks in both domestic and international terminals.”

He highlighted how, during peak hours, passengers were having to stand in long queues to go through security checks.

Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) have previously said they have been taking steps to address the problem, but given the limited space and increasing passenger traffic, the issue can only be mitigated and cannot be resolved entirely till the new terminals are put to use on completion of the phase II modernisation work.

Mr. Maran asked Mr. Puri to direct AAI to expedite the modernisation work.
