Chennai: Next time you head to the Chennai Airport, there’s a good chance that you’ll have some deja vu of entering a swanky mall. After the term of the existing parking contractor runs out at midnight on March 31, the new company that has taken the contract is all set to revamp the space, confirmed officials.
“The entry is expected to be realigned so that it is uniform at one point for both the terminals. This will most probably follow the toll booth-electronic card system that is seen in most malls today,” said airport director E P Hareendranathan.
While this system could take some getting used to for regulars, it is expected to save a lot of time and cut back manual tariff collection, which is the existing system. As another official pointed out, “Long lines have always been a problem especially during peak hours when the airline traffic is maximum.” This system will cut back on the chaos, he added.
Sources have also confirmed that the next contract would be taken up by Mumbai-based Garuda Aviation Services Ltd.
