New Delhi: A delay of about 18 months in getting the Government nod for importing an aerobridge from a neighbouring country is one reason why the opening of the modernised Chennai airport has been delayed. Official sources told Business Line that going by Government procedures, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) decided to source the aerobridge from the lowest bidder, which happened to be a company from a neighbouring country. It is said to have taken close to 18 months for getting the Government's nod to import the aerobridge.The modernised airport building at Chennai is now expected to become operational in June instead of April as had been planned earlier.Another reason for the project getting delayed is that there was no clarity from security agencies on what kind of baggage X-ray machines should be installed at the airport.
