AAI officials to meet Minister

Chennai: The brass of the Airports Authority of India has been called for a meeting with Minister for Civil Aviation P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju to discuss the shortcomings in the Chennai airport complex and propose remedial measures, said official sources.
Of all the country’s major airports, Chennai, Srinagar and Kolkata have been facing public ire for poor housekeeping. In Chennai, a tortuous modernisation project along with staff issues has resulted in a number of discomforting factors for passengers such as limited seating and dirty floors and bathrooms.
When contacted, Chennai airport director H.S. Suresh said they had not received any communication from the Ministry.
“Probably the letter was sent to the AAI office, which will be sent to us after a couple of days,” he said.
As far as Chennai is concerned, regular incidents involving falling of glass panes and the occasional collapse of false ceiling panels are complaints that have to be addressed, airport sources acknowledged.
