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
hi
hello
complaints about chennai airport
Very very worst toilets and sweepers especially ladies sweepers are using bad words and discussing about airport higher officials families Infront of all without any manners In international terminal while I was waiting for a flight. kindly teach them how to talk and behave with peoples.
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.
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.
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.
respected sir
By opening the Salem airport. Salem can attract various people from various departments. So plsssss open the airport.
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.
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...
Full Day Car Parking
Hi,
Does any one have an idea about the full day parking system at Chennai air port. Does it even exist and if yes what do they charge??
s.arunpandiyan
Pls start the airport working
poor administration
What are the managers and officials doing?. Very worst rest room it's like pigs shed. We pay tax , entrance fees ,parking but they never consider people . need to take sever action.
re-open
salem is developing city which needs a airport . it having population 10 lakhs in city limit it will be really useful
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!

Need Vellore Airport
nowadays, vellore become a modern city. "Golden Temple"located at vellore city. its one of the most popular temple in India. Railway connection is very less in vellore. Airport will very useful to develop the city.
Akilandapuram Airstrip
This was constructed by English people hundred years back, for the benefit of fast transportation for their use. This has history as the peoples of near by villages are stayed there for years to built them. This has got a fueling point
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.
Request

Worst Airport
One of the worst Airports visited in recent times.
Dirty overflowing toilets. There was water all over the toilets. As one toilet was already overflowing, I wneto the other one at the other end and even that was overflowing with puddles of water all around. They stink worse then Public urinals
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.
open airport
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 !!!
about vellore airport
expecting domestic airport as soon, it is useful to connect bangalore, chennai, coimbatore
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...
Lets hope.....
If there is a development in IT, the airport will be surely reopened....... lets hope salem will make it asap......
make it for commerical
please open and develop infra struccture of neyveli airport becouse i can say surely 50% of this district peoples are belongs to abroad contact.make them easier
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!
re: Open the airport
please open the airport
parking car while sending passenger abroad
is there provision to park our vehicle at chennai international airport after dropping passenger at departure bay if we have to wait till the person (student) gets through security check. Second after dropping passenger at departure bay at first floor, when coming down the bridge we can park our vehicle to wait at airport till the passenger gets through security check.
plz restart sevice
Plz restart the service from neyveli to bengaluru and chennai
So many tough situations due to long bus travel
Plz take necessary steps
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
re: Flying Club
Dude, i been looking for someone interested in flying in coimbetore. I am not sure about airstrip or airport regulations in coimbatore
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.
poor customer service in airport
🔗 Wed, 19 Aug 2015
— Anonymous Flyer at Chennai International Airport, India
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.
