IndiGo, the air carrier, has started operating from the new integrated terminal building at Chennai Airport, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In April, the first phase of the building was inaugurated, which was constructed with an investment of Rs 1,260 crore to enhance the airport’s capacity to handle passengers. The new terminal building is expected to provide improved facilities and infrastructure for travellers, contributing to a better travel experience.
IndiGo has commenced its international operations from the New Integrated Terminal Building T2 at Chennai Airport starting from June 13. The Chennai Airport announced through a social media post that IndiGo will be operating all its international flights to various destinations from the new terminal building. This development signifies the expansion of IndiGo’s international services and provides passengers with a modern and enhanced travel experience at the new terminal facility.
The New Integrated Terminal Building (NITB) not only serves as a functional infrastructure but also reflects the rich cultural heritage of the state. Its unique design aims to provide a memorable experience for travellers while showcasing the essence of Tamil Nadu’s culture and traditions.
The new integrated terminal building at Chennai Airport is expected to significantly enhance the airport’s passenger handling capacity. The government has stated that the addition of this terminal will increase the capacity from 23 million passengers per annum (MPPA) to 30 MPPA. The design of the terminal incorporates elements that reflect the local Tamil culture, including traditional features like the Kolam (a decorative art form), temples, and other elements that showcase the natural surroundings. These elements add a distinct and culturally rich ambiance to the terminal, creating a unique experience for passengers.
