Chennai: While the new domestic terminal at Chennai airport is gearing up to start operations by July, the expanded international terminal will be in ready only by August. Trial runs at the new domestic terminal began on Monday with 128 passengers arriving from a Kingfisher flight from Mumbai being guided through the new building for baggage check-out. One more trial for departure will happen in 7-10 days; this will be the real challenge as it involves check-in and boarding, said an airport official. The five-level domestic terminal spans 72,614 sq m. It has seven gates, 52 check-in counters and eight e-ticketing counters. Terminal-2 is equipped to handle 3,300 passengers an hour. The existing terminal handles 2,200 passengers.
