New flights in Chennai to Delhi and Mumbai - SpiceJet

A new outlook of Chennai International Airport's utility
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!

Reached Chennai safely...Chennai Airport Photos
I wanted to make this article simple and short, but I will try my best.
It was a long flight for me from California to Chennai. I waited for almost a night in Chennai till morning for a morning flight to Chennai, from Chennai. I liked the fact that there is a direct flight from Chennai to Chennai. So I am connected for an international flight to Chennai, indirectly. Isn't that great?!!
As the flight was nearing, I was just watching down to see my lovely Chennai. Paramount Airways, as always is great in hospitality. I had great chat with my co-passengers, who where originally from Sivakasi etc.,
Atlast I reached Chennai and took photos in Chennai Airport.
I saw significant differences in Chennai Airport, not in the same terminal. Whatever airport was there, it is all the same. But, there is a nearby building being built for the new terminal. I was glad to see that.
Only the people who travel can take this photo. I don't think anybody outside, who is not travelling can take this photo. Here are some of my captures...

Naming Chennai Airport Issue
Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy has threatened to launch an agitation if the Tamil Nadu Government further delayed its consent to name the city airport after freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.
Swamy has written letter to the government, but he has not received any response yet.
My question is - the international Chennai Airport is not ready yet, but issues of NAMING has raised!
God Bless Chennai!

Why should we buy land near Chennai Airport?
There is a confusion in all of our minds? Where should we invest our hard earned money?
When a city is developed, automatically things get developed and improved around Airport as well. That is what I am thinking about Chennai Airport as well.
Hotels around Chennai Airport would be obvious idea by the developers, investors and real estate builders. Rental Car companies, Hotels, Restaurants, Shopping complexes are some of the other building entities that would be planned around Chennai Airport.
IT Companies which includes both Software and also BPO companies would like to have the companies started in the Chennai IT park area, but there will be companies who might not want to go to IT park area, but stick to just the Airport area. That makes sense in fact.
Considering the government's investment in expanding the chennai airport into international airport makes our work easy. It would be a great investment and return of investment if we buy now some of the lands near Chennai area.
An area of around 20-25 kilometers in and around Chennai Airport would be a great deal for any small time individual investor. If you want to know about the lands around that area, you could contact any broker or agent around that area.
