Proposal for city’s second airport revived, four sites identified

The Hindu  

As Chennai continues to wait for a second airport for several years now, the State government has once again identified four sites for building a greenfield airport. A source from the State government said, “We understand that the talk on this airport has been around for years now. We understand the economic and business potential that comes by setting up this airport.” Industries Minister Thangam Thennarasu said the State government and TIDCO had requested Airports Authority of India to send in a team to study the feasibility of the four locations. In 2019, the AIADMK government looked at Parandur and Mamandur following which the Airports Authority of India sent a team that conducted a pre-feasibility study and submitted a report to the State government.
