Chennai: Air travellers to Chennai who flew in on Spicejet and GoAir flights on Thursday were a pleasantly surprised lot as they got to experience the new domestic terminal. Though the design, lighting and facilities of the terminal have come in for much praise, some old complaints like lack of signage and distance from the taxi bays continued to pour in.
The airport terminals, which were constructed around the old terminals at a cost of Rs 2,150 crore, were inaugurated January end. Test arrivals have been handled over past two weeks and various issues like an over-steep ramp have been defused to get things in order.
Spicejet and GoAir are the first airlines to shift their arrival operations to the new terminal, but their staff were still feeling their way around.
