Chennai airport to expand passengers handling capacity

Chennai airport will soon be expanded to reach a capacity of 60 million passengers per annum (MPPA) with a plan to prepare the master plan for the next 50 years.

Authorities are planning to hire a consultant to prepare a master plan within the next six months.

“Modernisation of the airport will enable it to handle 35 million passengers. It will be expanded later to handle 50 to 60 million passengers,” airport director Dr Sharad Kumar said.

“We will build terminals and cargo complexes. We should have the handling capacity before demand peaks,” he added.

The current airport is expected to be functional even after building a new airport for Chennai, as the present investments in expanding this facility would not go waste.
