Curbs in number of domestic flights, fewer Vande Bharat slots among reasons
A few years ago, Chennai airport was the third busiest in the country and then it was pushed to the fourth and now, it is in the sixth spot in the overall passenger traffic, behind Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kolkata. In the international sector, Kochi has surged ahead handling more number of international passengers than Chennai. After the second lockdown, there had been some increase in the overall passenger traffic at Chennai airport (both domestic and international) but not to the extent of going ahead of the other metro airports.More Related News
