Chennai: The coming week, Chennai airport will witness increased traffic of a different kind — that of fuel tankers.
And this is not good news for the thousands of motorists who ply on the already-congested GST Road on a daily basis.
In order to facilitate Metro Rail work near the airport, the Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) pipeline will have to be realigned. And while that happens over the next 10 days, tankers will transport fuel from Manali to the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) station in the airport premises.
This, airport officials say, will increase traffic in the vicinity. Airport director H.S. Suresh said: “Traffic congestion caused by Metro work is inevitable. But in order to ease the congestion, we have moved the prepaid taxi stand to the open space in front of the new domestic terminal.”
