The new multi-level car parking (MLCP) facility at the Chennai International Airport was opened to the public on Sunday. According to officials, the facility constructed at the airport’s city side, flanking the Airport Metro station (east and west wing), can accommodate up to 400 two-wheelers and over 2,000 cars.
Hours after its opening, however, passengers took to social media and criticised the poor arrangements, claiming they had to wait a long time to exit the airport. Several people said they were forced to wait in long queues to collect tokens.
A user noted that after the MLCP was opened, cars “aren’t allowed to enter the arrival area” and passengers are “required to walk up this steep ramp with all their heavy luggage”.
