Two taxiways commissioned to boost flight operations at Chennai airport
CHENNAI: In a bid to increase operational capacity and enhance ease of operations, the Chennai Airport commissioned two new taxiways — Romeo and November. While the Romeo taxiway runs parallel to primary runway, November taxiway runs parallel to the secondary runway. The two taxiways will now help clear the runway faster after aircraft landing.
They will be used for planes that land at the Guindy and Pallavaram ends of the runway, thereby reducing the distance between flights that glide down for landing and take off. This would allow the airport to handle more flights.
