AirAsia shifts operations to New International Terminal Chennai (NITC)

AirAsia is shifting its operations in Chennai, from Anna International Terminal, Chennai Airport to the New International Terminal, Chennai (NITC) effective from 21 October 2013.

From the effective date onwards, flight departure from Chennai will be based and operated at the NITC. Arrivals will be at the old terminal.

AirAsia guests with flights from the NITC are advised to arrive early at the terminal—at least three hours prior to departure—in order to familiarize themselves with the new layout and processes.

The airline’s ground personnel will be at hand to help guests navigate through the new airport.

The state-of-the-art integrated terminal was built at an investment of over Rs. 2,000 crore and could handle 4 million passengers annually. It has a well equipped five-level structure (basement, arrival, mezzanine, departure, VIP levels) with an area spanning 6,51,300 sq. ft and 52 check-in counters.
