Trial run on newly constructed airport terminal

Airport Authority of India today undertook a trial run on shifting its international departure operations to the newly constructed terminal.
"In order to shift the international departure operations from (the existing) Anna International Terminal to the recently constructed new terminal, a dummy trial run was successfully conducted today," Airport Director H S Suresh said in a statement.
Accordingly, the in-line baggage system, common user terminal equipment, flight information display system were tested and found to be in order, it said.
In order to take stock of the users' views, a meeting to be chaired by Airport Director has been called for tomorrow after which the date of shifting the operations to the new terminal would be announced, it said.

Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa early this year boycotted the inauguration of the new domestic and international terminals by Vice President M Hamid Ansari after the Centre did not make any announcements on naming the second domestic terminal after AIADMK Founder M G Ramachandran.
