Chennai: Don’t be surprised to encounter a flight of birds before flying out of the city from the new airport terminal.
While some passengers have spotted bird droppings, some others have come across flocks of pigeons at the new domestic departure terminal of the Chennai airport.
Gopal Madhavan, a frequent flyer who travelled to Mumbai recently, said, “Last week, I saw about four or five pigeons on the departure level. Nowhere else do you find birds inside the terminal of an airport. I think they were nesting in the metal trusses that run across the terminal.”
An official of Airports Authority of India (AAI) said they had tried, unsuccessfully, to drive the birds away from the terminal.
