Chennai airport to remove hangar for three more flight parking bays

Chennai: Chennai airport may build three more parking bays for planes after removing a hangar of Air India near the domestic terminal.
The airline is likely to vacate the hangar after a meeting of top executives was held two days ago to discuss about the changes needed in the operational area of the airport to accommodate ongoing taxiway work. AAI has been asking for the hangar for many month, but the airline was delaying the move though it has scaled down it’s operations in Chennai over the years.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) is looking at retrieving a huge parcel of land where the hangar and the aviation turbine fuel facility are located on the eastern side of the domestic terminal.

A senior official said the airport needed more parking bays closer to the terminal as bringing planes parked in the remote bay, located between the main runway and the second runway, to the terminal is time-consuming.
