Chennai: The months-long wait is finally over. The new international terminal at the Chennai airport was finally thrown open to passengers on Wednesday.
A little after 9 a.m., a group of passengers going to Singapore walked into the new international terminal, seven months after it was inaugurated.
Passengers had little to complain about. G. Selvaraj, 61, a retired bank employee from Chennai, said, “After the not-so-satisfactory services at the old international terminal, the new one is definitely a welcome change. Even the toilets are clean.”
Since only one flight was handled in the morning, passengers were able to check in without any hassle.
“I checked in within a few minutes of entering the terminal. Everything looks neat and clean today. The challenge is in maintaining these levels,” said 25-year-old J. Praveen, who runs a hotel in the city.
However, some of the passengers were unhappy over the lack of eateries in the terminal.
