Smaller aircraft, particularly ATRs, may soon take off from the Tambaram Air Force station, as the Chennai airport has been increasingly getting saturated.
A mini terminal will be built for passengers to complete the check-in and check-out procedures at the air base.
Officials of Airports Authority of India (AAI) said the plan was under consideration and they would soon start talks with the Air Force authorities to see if it could be executed at the earliest.
“We recently held discussions on this issue. After getting approval from the headquarters, the official discussions will start with the Indian Air Force. If they agree to this plan, it can be implemented as soon as possible,” an official said.
