Sorry to sound a little spoilsport, but all is not hunky dory about the new airport, atleast for middle class passengers. The airport is 35 kms. away and no ordinary taxis - Indica V2, Omni Van, Ambassadors - are allowed. Only Indigo and above. The fare you pay to reach the airport for a family would be more than the fare u pay to reach another domestic destination, say, Mumbai, Kolkata. To reach the highway from the airport u got to cover 7 kms. The airports in Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi are accessible by bus, taxi, even auto, in Chennai by train too - the station is right opposite to the airport. The project to run a train service to the airport with facility to book the baggage at the station itself has been given up - now they say they would charge Rs.200 per passenger for the service, when it does come about. The taxi lobby in cahoots with the private promoters are out to fleece the public. I see nothing to celebrate here. If the airport is meant only to impress the foreigners and no ordinary cars are to be allowed, will u alter ur entire cities and the slums and ordinary buildings along the way? banish any citizen clad in dhoti and banian from sight?
