poor customer service in airport

Dear All, i had recently visited India and while i was in the Chennai Airport on 16Aug15 morning, i noticed each and every staff of yours are very rude and unprofessional. I feel that as a paying customer i do not wish to be spending money to get such a bad service. Your security services calls people 'heh hello' instead of 'excuse me Sir, your immigrant officer was scolding some people in the queue because their flight is geting late but they still in the queue by telling them to come early in future etc, and refusing to open the barrier for them to cross to another counter for checking in by telling them its not her job to open the barier (she is an elderly woman wearing saree with a bulging tummy), i do not know her name because you are practising wearing visible name tags. Then another women officer wearing pants came and talked rudely by telling some guys to queue prperly if not she will send to the start of the queue (she is relatively young and wore glass). Then i think you have their supervisor sitting in the office smiling and joking around with the staffs. I clearly feel that all your staff are not employed through merits and have a poor educational upbringing or either your management is not strict in discipling them.

My recent experience Jul 2015

The airport has been completely rebuilt and has world class amenities. There is still not enough parking for cars and yes, I dont think there is any car parking facility for long term basis like a day or two. The AAI website says its still work in progress. All charges are hourly basis. However there is long term parking for bikes available. The charges are Rs 50 for 4 hours and 102 for 24 hours. However this a open parking and bike was left in the sun and rain for 3 days. I struggled for 20 min. to get it started!

Hosur Airport need to be develop and flight services could b

Hosur and around city Business people, every common man travel about 100KM to access the BIAL.. Govt. can consider the practical difficulties and open the services at Hosur as soon to avoid time delays and economic waste + Increase of air pollution.

Flights to GULF especially Saudi

Considerable population travel from madurai to Gulf from TRIVANDRUM or TRICHY because of no international flight from Madurai. If started approx. 30% from Trivandrum, 30% from Trichy and 10% from Chennai travellers can easily opt to fly to Madurai as their Home city near Madurai. Expecting a positive update serve lot of travellers around Gulf

Tuticorin Airport needs immediate expansion

Considering the business potential of the port city of Tuticorin, there is an imperative need to develop the infrastructure of the Tuticorin Airport to enable the airport to handle international flights and cargo.

Picture of

Much Needed

the people in salem were in the need of aiport. coz of development in city and population growth and it is fifth largest city in tamilnadu. Most of all it have steel plant, it is a largest fruit market in tamilnadu, now there comes a salem railway division, salem bus division has the headquaters for namakkal, dharmapuri and krishnagiri and hosur districts. without airport its very difficult for people.

Picture of

Salemmmmm!

Salem has more population.without the airport how people can manage. More people are going to Bangalore which is about 250km away from Salem which can take about 5hrs to reach for that we can go to srilanka from Salem by a plane so please try to open the airport by the end of the month. Thank you.

Picture of

respected sir

By opening the Salem airport. Salem can attract various people from various departments. So plsssss open the airport.

Picture of

Salem's share goes to Trichy, Coimbatore and Bangalore

If you look at last few years, all neighboring airports to Salem are having good increase in passenger traffice and Salem region contributes considerably to their growth. These days it takes longer to reach from Hosur to Bangalore airport than reaching Salem airport due to the traffic. Salem airport has immense potential if any carrier strategically opens its operation here. Also government should provide fuel concession to encourage the operators to consider Salem.

Exorbitant Parking Charges

The Mother F....rs at Chennai Airports viz Garuda Aviation Services Pvt Ltd just not charge Car drivers for staying a second extra but fleece. Abdul Basher and Buddu are two A.......les I understand managing Chennai ops.

Picture of

Outrageous waiting policy

At no other airport IN THE WORLD have I ever experienced the obnoxious policy of no waiting indoors. What am I to do while I wait for my 2:16 am flight early the following morning? Wait on the curb. Easier said than done when you arrive in Chennai at 5:30 on an overnight train and want nothing more than to relax in air con and rest for the afternoon...rather than haul your luggage around the sticky city, killing time for the sake of killing time. This is bullshit. This is not a policy of international airports.

Request for Salemites... we have

Salem (Tamil nadu, India) is well connected with chennai, bangaluru, trichy, coimbatore & madurai.. By road way as well as by train except trichy and maduri. The all above cities are located at less than 200 as well as more than 140 km. This is the reason behind air connectivity fails... Salem city has more than 11 laks city population. Major industries like steel plants, sago industries, text tiles also one of the most business area around state as well as country. In future IT companies are going to occupy.. So we need flight connectivity for improving our city life style.. As of now we don't want direct connectivity flight to chennai. We need air connectivity. So think about possible way like kochin-chennai as kochin-salem-chennai. Similarly trivandrum-hyderabad as trivandrum-salem-hyderabad. I think this may work out... Because we don't have proper direct trains from salem to other part of state as well as country. But we have lot of train connectivity around our country. This is the fact of our city... Some thing we are looking for change...

poor maintenance

Recently i traveled both Domestic and International via Chennai Airport. Airport Maintenance (Gents Toilet area) is very bad in Domestic terminal. No hand wash liquid, wet floor, carpet area in the gate area with lot of stain and not clean. International terminal departure gate area witnessed lot of pigeons (six to seven in numbers) flying inside the terminal.

Please send the AAI staff in Chennai Airport to go on Field trip to take a look at other airports that are maintained very well

(Hyderabad and Bangalore) and learn how to maintain the airport clean and tidy. if they are not efficient, Please remove them

from the job. Travelers flying via Chennai deserve better.

Is Passenger flights are operating in this airport like vayu

Is Passenger flights are operating in this airport like vayudot etc.,?

Expensive, poor quality airport

Chennai Airport needs to be forcefully taken away from AAI and given to an efficient international operator. If any union intervenes, they should be thrown into the Bay of Bengal.

The coffee shops are ridiculosuly priced. Dip Tea costs Rs. 80!!!!! This is day light robbery. Even coffee/ tea at Heathrow or Fraport will not be this expensive, even if we consider PPP adjustments. The scanning machines take longer time, toilets are badly maintained, one has to walk long distances for everything. Passengers use this facility, just because they don't have a choice. If it were in competing distance from bangalore or hyderabad, it would badly loose all business and shut down automatically!

Parking Scam

UNBELIEVABLE...is the one word that comes to my mind when i think of parking my car in Chennai airport.I stayed inside the airport for exactly 10 min 35 seconds and i had to pay Rs.135 for those extra 35 SECONDS. Believe it or not, A guy can easily have 2 meals in Chennai with that money. India is not a country like the US or any other developed country for that matter.We are already burdened with taxes, corruption,fuel price hikes and not to mention the ever greedy and obnoxious autowallahs etc. How can we improve our living standards if we get ripped off like this every single day by so many factors. No wonder there is a huge amount of people moving out every year. If India wants to retain its talent and improve its economy, the government needs to know that siphoning off small change through taxes, price hikes etc will only f**k them up in the long run and they cannot afford to piss off the citizens who are the most important resource in the country. People are getting smarter every day and the day is closer where there will be a truly democratic government. Beware u babus, netas, sonia gandhi, modi, karunanidhi, jayalalitha. The INDIAN is aggressively rising to change the way the world looks at India. You can either help him in his endeavors or incur his wrath and get destroyed.

Electrical points for Charging mobiles not working

Dirty carpets - why have carpets if you cant maintain them

Baggage weightage difference during Checkin

Hi,

This is the third consecutive time I could clearly see difference in baggage weight during a check in. In all my last 3 travels my handbag is a standard one with a Laptop, charger and mobile accessories. I was very deliberate in noticing its weight each time which is 7,8,9.5 kg resp. This is very shocking that I couldn't believe it. Neither I have increased my material nor removed any. This gives me a great suspicion on machine functioning properly or people have calibrated.

Reopen the Airline service

Salem is one of the most developing district like coimbatore and trichy.Salem has everything except air services.So please reatart the sevice again.

Rediculus Parking Charges

Today I had to drop my aged parents in Chennai domestic airport, I entered the airport at 6.24AM as I am entering the airport after renovation, instead of going thru the ramp went thru the normal route and got the parking slip (Gate 2). Asked my way to enter the ramp, entered the first floor departure terminal, no trollies were there, went to look out for the same and then after sending off my parents went to Gate 11 to exit the airport. The time taken between entry and exit was 10 min and 42 seconds, the counter person at parking gate said the parking charges is 135 since i have crossed 10 min (!!!!) rediculous. I tried explaining the person she was in no mood to listen, going by the best estimate, to take the cirucular route inside the airport took me 4.30min (no direction boards are there and had to depend on help from the staff available on the ground) and looking for trolly, dropping my parents, and waiting for the cab parked in front of me to move took 5min and the long overbridge ride was about 1min and waiting for the prev. car to exit the toll was around a min .. in all the entire time was around 11min ...

If such a high toll is collected is it not the responsibility of AAI or parking agency to ensure there are sufficient trollies at arrival gate? Also should they not ensure that there is no congestion on the departure gate by cabs etc. Can we not make the duration to 15 min which is reasonable considering the difficulties and you are not just going to drop your relatives / rather push them of the car etc.

AAI please review

This is the first airport i am seeing charging such exorbitant rate for a < 15 min stay within the airport even if the vehicle is NOT parked.

Please open airport at salem

dogs, no toilets for visitors in new terminal, inadequate fr

there are no drinking water facility or toilets for visitors at the international departure new terminal, then why am i paying 60 Rs for? the airport has dogs near the garden areas, good luck getting international recognition next time. why cant you give a 15 min grace time for cars ? even world class airports give at least 15 min time-window to get out of the airport and Chennai airport which is just plain shit when compared to even other Indian airports give only 5 to 7 minutes ? why are we paying airport tax along with our tickets for ? why no transparent governance is present ? why not have a proper website for a start, your display boards says "scheduled" even after my family have landed, arrived and met with me!!! Melbourne airport even has a radar map to show location of flights and you cant tell us if the flight has safely landed... BRAVO F***ERS !!!

Need for Business and Internation Air Travel

It is Situated near to my village - Sendamangalam which is known for kings rule and it is the capital city of chera nadu but it is not known by many. it is beautiful and God Ishwer temple is there. Ulundurpet is one of cities in tamilnadu for trade and business. When there is Domestic Airport then the State will have Its growth and no one can defeat us. Airport can be used for airforce training etc...

overcharging in foreign currency at the Port Lounge

If you use the port lounge at Chennai Airport, you are allowed to pay only in cash and if you do not have INR you are made to pay in foreign currency for a much much higher charge.

I had a couple of drinks which was INR 600. I didn't have enough INR and had to pay SGD 20 (900), about 1.5 times. It was not only me, but most of the foreigners who we're sitting there was also made to do so. The waiter always tells a very round figure in foreign currency, bill is in INR, and no change....

Very obvious, the staff are trying to cheat money. A lot of staff education is required to stop doing these cheap things.

Airports are more than just 4 walls and a plane!

The more I used to love being at an Airport, the more I regret going there now. Not being I don't like it, but because they have introduced a fleecing, demeaning toll system which is no where found on Earth. The enterprise which has taken over this toll system, has no time to talk, or explain or understand the basic needs of a customers or a passenger. Their only motive is in their answer : MONEY! Pay it and Go! thats all there is to talk and nothing more. The taxi drivers, the police, the AAI authorities and everyone else who's a part of it has been keeping mum on this issue. Its such a pathetic moment to go inside an airport, throw the passenger out like you don't care about them, throw their luggage on their face and drive like mad to the next known exit, just to make sure you're within the 5minute time limit. What kind of an Airport experience is this ? Is this what you call an Airport Experience?

AAI, please bear in mind that its Airports are not just about coming in and taking off, Airport is more than just a wall in front of a plane. Kindly make the time limit between 10-15minutes.

Whatever is going on now in Chennai is atrocious and very demeaning!

Additional Charge 70 Inr Charged by Fast Track

Today i came to Airport by fast track call taxi at Morning 3:30 am to catch a domestic flight & i am the single person travelling in that vehicle with an Laptop bag, i have not made the driver to wait for any thing once he as stopped the vehicle i immediately get down from the car allowed him to go from there, since i know very well about the Airport rules, But driver charged me extra 70 inr saying that's the rule, but actually at morning 3:30 am there is no traffic & also i have been travelling regularly & i have not paid also on my before travels, but this driver was not in good shape to speak & he says that's the rule,

I want to know is this a rule that we need to pay extra 70 inr even if we have not made him await & that to at morning 3:30 where there is no traffic in airport

My worry is for the regular traveler itself the scenario is like this than how come for the occasional travelling guys. they will be suffering a lot

No autorickshaws allowed

In our country all can not afford a car. Hell lot of peoples are depending on Auto rickshaws. Why not chennai airport authority not allowing autos inside the departure and arrival gates.
