A new outlook of Chennai International Airport's utility

After many news broadcasts and little delays, at last Chennai International Airport is inaugurated and opened recently.

Now, what?

How do we have the Airport functioning and useful!? Chennai Airport will function as international airport, only when international flights come in and go out of Chennai Airport. Why there is no news on that? Here is the reason -

Flight operators were complaining that Customs Checking Operation division has to be opened in Chennai Airport, then only International flights can operate. When asked with the Customs operations, they are telling International Flights has to operate then only Customs can be started.

Having this situation, there had been discussions between officers and now conclusions are made lately that in a month's time flights will operate. Basically, in 2 weeks Customs will start it seems (Government's message), and automatically international flights would start working in another 2 weeks (assumption).

In one month - Chennai to Colombo will be operated by Srilanka Airlines, Air India Express; Chennai To Dubai will be operated by Air Arabia; Chennai to Singapore will be operated by Air Asia. Air Lanka will operate from Colombo to Europe and America.
Air Lanka has decided to provide flights from Colombo to all across the world, which means flights are connected from Chennai to all around the world!!

There are numerous advantages of Chennai International Airport and flights -
Every time, people from Southern districts have to go to Chennai to fly out of the country. Now, it is a great step that people from Southern districts can fly from Chennai to anywhere in the world, directly from Chennai.

As on date - people travelling from Chennai to all south asian countries are most of them are from southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Almost 70% are from Chennai and southern districts. With the Chennai international airport, people can directly fly to and fro Chennai to anywhere in the world.

Also, all the tourists from Tamil Nadu can go from Chennai directly to anywhere in the world - which helps them with lesser travel and also lesser cost for the trip.

Also, the international tourists from Asian countries who visit Kanyakumari, Meenakshi Amman Temple, Coutrallam etc., can come to Chennai directly, instead of coming to Chennai and then coming to Chennai in different modes of transports!

Great job by the Government!!! We at Chennai247.com thank the government for Chennai's International Airport!!!! Great step and this is going to change Chennai for good! First step haan!

Chennai Ring road

Sponsored by OruAcre.com

This is one of the things I was glad to see in Chennai, after my 3 years visit to Chennai.

Roads are very well made to connect outside the villages as a bypass to many villages. This makes it exactly like Freeways in many foreign countries. The way the symbols are done are very well planned. I am sure, officials had visited developed nations to study and implement in Chennai and other areas.

My only worry here is - people do not follow traffic symbols really and on other hand - I am hoping the roadways will be well maintained as it was built at first place. Hope it does not become like just another road and holes show up in freeway, which actually will lead to slowness of traffic and leads to accidents etc.,.

I felt great to see the STOP symbols and YIELD symbols - though they are not actually followed. The concept of exit in the highways - which took some time for me in my visit to a developed country the very first time.

All day long Power cuts in Chennai

Today, in certain areas in Chennai - there is all day long power cut. It is from 9 AM to 5 PM. How are people living here? It is unbelievable?!

How do businesses run here? Would they use some kind of generator/inverter?

What would residential communities do about it? How do they manage in this hot weather? Would it not affect the businesses which needs power?

What is the reason to the power cuts? Is it because there is not enough power generated? or god's sake we are living in a state where power is generated (Neyveli)!

I don't have answers to any of this! We take lot of things for granted and learn to adjust to the life, based on what is provided! We are never trying to rectify or fix the situation...

Chennai Tirunagar to Chennai Airport Road Infrastructure Approved

It is a great news about Chennai infrastructure update.

Sponsored by OruAcre.com

Since there is IT park coming up in Vadapazhanji area in Chennai, it was evaluated that there is a possibility of lot of traffic from Tirunagar area and traffic from Theni area in future. If anybody has to go to Chennai Airport from Theni or Thirunagar area in Chennai, they have to go a long way via Palgalai nagar, Vadapazhanji, Thirunagar, Kappalur, Ring road to reach Chennai Airport. This leads too much time and lot of petrol wastage.

Hence, there was a proposal for a road from Tirunagar to Chennai Airport and it is approved by Tamil Nadu State Transport.

Great! It is an infrastructure improvement in Chennai and at the same time Chennai Real Estate will have great improvement in that area.
