Swanky maybe, but still incomplete

Chennai: A visitor to the Chennai airport may think the new domestic terminal building looks swanky, ultra-modern and ready for use. But a visit inside would be disappointing, as many aspects of it are still incomplete.
Work on the building, electrification, air-conditioning, lifts, escalators and installation of conveyor belts have been finished. But a lot still remains to be done. Airports Authority of India (AAI) sources said it would take at least another six months to complete all the work, after which the new terminal will become fully operational.
The landing arm of the flyover for instance, is incomplete. Without the landing arm, vehicles have to travel two extra kilometres every time a passenger comes to the domestic or international terminals.
