Chennai: The Emirates Group has shown interest in making Chennai airport as its hub.
“We are looking at this and are open to any airline for such an arrangement,” said V.P. Agrawal, Chairman, Airports Authority of India. In fact, the Emirates group is one of the biggest airlines in the Chennai airport for both passenger and cargo segments.
“With the newly built terminals and better sea connectivity, Chennai airport could become a hub mainly to connect the South-East Asian countries,” he told newspersons.
Airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore do not have the advantages that Chennai has, he said.
