Chennai airport expansion work to be delayed

The expansion and modernisation works at the Chennai airport have been delayed by a year because huge quantities of rocks in the substrata had to be blasted in a controlled manner. There is going to be an escalation in cost due to the delay and inflation. However, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) is confident of completing the project, either by December this year, or January next year.Contact: Airports Authority of India.Tel: 011-2463 2950.Website: www.aai.aero
