Answer 3

Chennai International Airport (IATA: MAA, ICAO: VOMM) is located in Meenambakkam, 7 km south of Chennai, India. It has the IATA Airport Code MAA and it is the third most important international gateway into the country after Mumbai and Delhi, and the main air hub for south India, handling just under 10 million passengers in 2005. It is also an important cargo terminus for the country second only to Mumbai. Chennai is also a hub airport for Jet Airways, Indian (formerly Indian Airlines), Air Deccan, Air Sahara and internationally, for Air India.

It is decent one,but not good by international standards. still a long way to go in terms of  Intl standard.

History

Chennai had one of the first airports in India, and was the final destination of Air India's first flight from Bombay via Belgaum in 1954.

The first passenger terminal was built at the northeast side of the airfield, which lies in the suburb of Meenambakkam due to which it was referred to as Meenambakkam Airport. A new terminal complex was subsequently built further south near Pallavaram to which passenger operations were shifted. The old terminal building is now used as a cargo terminal and is the base for the Indian courier company Blue Dart.

[edit] Structure

Chennai International Airport consists of three terminals: The old terminal at Meenambakkam is used for cargo, while the new passenger terminal complex near pallavaram is used for passenger operations. The passenger terminal complex consists of the domestic and international terminals interconnected by a link building, which houses administrative offices and a restaurant. Although the complex is one continuous structure, it was built at different periods.

The first part to be built was the International terminal which had two aerobridges, followed by the domestic terminal with three aerobridges. After the completion of the domestic terminal, the old terminal at Meenambakkam was used exclusively for cargo. Recently the International terminal was extended further south by adding a new block which includes three aerobridges. At present, the new international block is used for departures while the older building is used for arrivals.
