Old Chennai Airport Terminals to be Torn Down, to be Rebuilt Again

Chennai: The old Kamaraj Domestic Terminal and the Anna International Terminal, which have served the city’s aviation needs for almost three decades, will be knocked down and rebuilt as modern airport terminals.

Announcing the decision, Airports Authority of India (AAI) Chairman R K Srivastava said, “We have decided that the old terminals will be upgraded through reconstruction and will be merged with these new ones. They will be linked with the terminals commissioned three years ago and the movement will be seamless.” The project is expected to set the exchequer back by at least `1,000 crore, which is half of what the last modernisation drive cost them.
