Chennai: Forgot your earphones and bored at Chennai airport? The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has got you covered. Soon, you can relax with curated music from the public address systems while waiting for your flight. Part of a move to improve the ambience at the airport, the AAI has planned to play music, often anchored by an RJ, over speakers and the public address systems at the airport. The plan is set to take off in a few months.
The move is also aimed at offering a stress-free environment and is part of a bid to add more amenities for passengers at 29 airports run by the AAI.
Earlier, the airport would play instrumentals, but this was discontinued after the airport was declared a silent one, wherein airlines and other agencies would make an announcement over public address systems only when it is unavoidable.
A tender has been floated to identify an experienced broadcaster with radio license to curate music and broadcast it round-the-clock across terminals and passenger areas for three years. The contractor is also allowed to engage an RJ, who would select and play the music. A decision will be taken about awarding of contract on May 10.
The playlist will include Indian or international music and covers all genres from classical to contemporary music, including folk, film scores, regional, rock, pop and more.
In addition, 30-second pre-recorded audio capsules on the local culture, heritage, monuments, festivals and tourist spots would be played around eight to 10 times a day.
