CHENNAI AIRPORT: MAIN RUNWAY TO BE CLOSED FOR 6 HRS DAILY TILL OCT

The main runway of Chennai airport will be closed for six hours daily (from 12 pm to 6 pm) till October due to infrastructure works being carried out in the airport. In November, it will be closed from 10 am to 6 pm.

However, officials said that this arrangement will not affect flight services to and from the airport since the secondary runway is equipped to handle the traffic.

Construction of new taxiways and strengthening of an existing taxiway which would help aircrafts exit at a higher speed than the usual are happening at the airport right now.
