Aerobridges at city airport remain idle

Madurai: Two aerobridges in the new terminal of the International Airport remain unused due to various reasons. The aerobridges were pressed into service from December 1.
At present, passengers are taken to their respective flights by the airport buses like in the past.
The new terminal was inaugurated in September 2012. The state-of-the-art building houses 16 check-in-counters, 12 immigration counters, one security counter and five customs' counters.
On an average, 11 flights operate from the airport, including international flights to Colombo and Dubai on a daily basis. The number of domestic and international passengers arriving and departing daily from the airport is about 2,200 on an average. After Chennai, Coimbatore and Trichy, is the latest to get such aerobridges.
