The Ministry of Civil Aviation has shortlisted two sites – Pannur and Parandur – to build the second airport in Chennai and has referred them to the state government.
The ministry shortlisted two sites out of the four sites suggested by the Tamil Nadu government.
The state government had shortlisted Parandur, Pannur, Tiruporur and Padalam as four sites for the second airport.
“From the four sites, we have selected two and have reverted to the state government, waiting for [an] answer on the final site so that the work can be initiated to make sure that the second airport in Chennai comes to life as soon as possible,” Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya M Scindia said.
