Air Cargo Chennai airport to have courier terminal soon Our Bureau
Chennai , June 22 Chennai airport will soon have an exclusive courier terminal, which will cater to needs of the courier industry. Talking to newspersons at the Bhoomi puja of the new terminal, Mr Dinesh Kumar, Chennai Airport Director, said the building would cost about Rs 4 crore. This would be a double storied building with floor plates measuring about 1,242 sq m each. The terminal will have X Ray scanner, fire alarm system, CCTV and truck call system. The building would be completed by February 2007, he said.
Second terminal
He said that a second courier terminal was also in the pipeline and work on that one would start once this facility was commissioned. He said that Chennai airport handled between 300 and 400 packages every day. This terminal would help courier companies reduce cost as the security requirement of an on-board courier would not be there, he said. Talking about the passenger amenities at the domestic airport in Chennai, he said the new departure area for low-cost carriers would be ready in six weeks.
