Chennai: Another glass panel developed a crack and shattered at the entrance of the new domestic terminal on Tuesday, bringing the number of such incidents to 13 since the commissioning of the Rs 2,015 crore, modernised airport in Chennai last year.
Eyewitnesses said a side standing glass panel, measuring 8X5 feet at gate No. 4 in the domestic terminal used by Air India and Indigo Airlines passengers for departure, cracked and shattered at 9.10 am on Tuesday. No one was injured and no flights were delayed.
A statement from Chennai airport’s assistant general manager (PR) Harbhajan Singh said the Airports Authority of India (AAI) was investigating the technical reasons behind such incidents which also occurred in the past.
However, the Tuesday’s incident was a rude shock to passengers waiting at the terminal to catch the 10.05 am Chennai–Coimbatore–Delhi Indigo flight and 10.40 am Air India flight to Delhi.
