Come December 21, Madurai will get air connectivity to Penang in Malaysia via Chennai.

Though the passengers would have to change flights at Chennai, IndiGo Airlines is offering direct boarding facility in Madurai with an additional late night domestic flight between Madurai and Chennai.

This would be the first additional flight service Madurai airport would get after Airports Authority of India threw open 24x7 operation of Madurai airport on October 1, said Madurai Airport Director P. Muthu Kumar.

The benefit for the passengers with the new air link is that the passengers would be able to fly from Madurai to Chennai late in the night. The flight leaves Madurai at 10.45 p.m. and reaches Chennai at 12.05 a.m. The flight from Chennai would leave for Penang at 2.15 a.m. and reach there at 8.30 a.m. Malaysian time

Passengers would have adequate time for the transfer, including customs and immigration clearance at Chennai airport.

Passengers booking direct ticket from Madurai to Penang would be travelling by two flights with a single PNR, according to an IndiGO Airlines source. They can carry 30 kg of check-in luggage and 7 kg of cabin luggage.

“The airlines offers the services of transferring the check-in luggage between the two flights,” said president of Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry N. Jegatheesan. It would be helpful for those from Karaikudi and Chettinadu living in Penang, he said.
