CHENNAI AIRPORT Bravo to smoothen cargo trade

Taxiway Bravo at Chennai International Airport recently opened to ease the congestion and promote speed during the peak hours. Airport officials said the capacity of the current primary runway will be increased as a result of the operation of Bravo, the principal taxiway (B-TWY). As per a statement, B-TWY, parallel to the main runway that handles 90 per cent of domestic, international, and cargo traffic, “has a curve at the Guindy end that leads to various constraints resulting in aircraft holding, therefore using extra time and fuel for departing flights taxiing from the terminal to the primary runway for take-off”. The straightened taxiway “will ease the situation and promote speedier passage of flights and cargo by eliminating delays while taxiing, specifically during peak hour traffic.”
