It's still under the construction stage! @ santa: I don't think the design is the problem. The size might be considering we have more than 11 million passengers to handle. @ mudpuppy: i agree! definitely a step up ;) @ ravi: thanks for your optimism :) @ anjana: that's the spirit! @ andrew: i think you should take another look when it's closer to completion. it's really hard to tell as of now! @ Walter Solbchak: connectivity woes is going to be a pain point! @ kumar: i meant that he answered our questions and took us around. sneak peek as in sneak preview: an opportunity to see something new before the rest of the public. which is what i'm sharing. i don't think i have the capacity to murder english :) @ vatsal: thank you for getting it :) and yes, it's going to be a nightmare to travel for more than 3 hours to catch a flight to say a place like chennai! futuristic airports are definitey what we need but we need leaders who have futuristic visions for that. @ sethuraman: yes, i think the judgement should wait till it's opened! @ silkboard: thanks! @ sameer: maybe people will start travelling by road again :) @ mytri: best of luck :) @ lubna: this is both the domestic and international airport. the arrival departure lounge will be the same, we were told! @ venkat: let's wait to crib about facilities till it opens! @ captainjohann: i actually went for a run and did my best after it was over and we went for a small tour. i did not go as a journalist and all these questions would have taken a few hours for him to answer! and i'm not an airport specialist either. so i suggest someone better equipped can go ask those questions! @ rdmblr: that's what we were told. @ nag: hey, maybe not! let's wait for it to open. it has more than 6, that's what i saw where i went. @ atthu: that would be a good idea! @ jagannath: i wouldn’t say ugly. it’s still under construction!

I wish anitha has asked Mr.Rene about 1. parking space and the number of cars it can accomodate 2.How many immigration and custom counters? 3.How the green channel will function if both domestic and international travellers will be bunched together. 4.Rene seems to make a typical Indian bureacratic track that it is conceived in 1990,planned for 2005 and opening in 2008!!!He can fall back on this excuse to his finaciars. 5.These fellows wanted the present one to close down. Has the Jeppsen and ADIZ and other navigational problems sorted out with director genral of civil aviation.Has new Alpha and Delta routes made and approval of ICAO obtained? 6.Has the CISF which provides security has the necessary manpower recruited and trained for this airport? 7.What are the types of the ILS,VOR,NDB installed and their category? 8.what about airport,route survelliance radar? 9/What about MET briefing? I hope anitha will take me with her for the next survey or someone who has flown or used airports as a pilot or navigator. Holy cow. all seem to be negative. I wish anitha has asked Mr.Rene about

This is just the international airport right? Not the domestic airport? Anita your comment about arrival and depature longue being common for domestic/international travellers has had me worried. I thought HAL would continue as the domestic terminal. Please clarify soon. Hey, am worried. This is just the international airport right? Not the domestic airport?

I am supposed to travel to this airport in June and then travel on to Mysore. Sheesh. It will take more than the 3 hours it is taking right now! Hmm...

You have to have a really serious reason to fly to Chennai, or even Hubli etc - the road trip's pretty quick and nice, and no aiport tax + fuel surcharge + blah to pay. The tolls are much cheaper.
