Tamil Nadu picks 2 new locations for Chennai airport following Parandur project cancellation
Following the decision to drop the Parandur airport project, the Tamil Nadu administration has narrowed down two alternative locations for Chennai’s second airport. Cheyyur and Gummidipoondi have been selected as the new options, with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) tasked to conduct feasibility studies at both sites. The original Parandur project was abandoned due to opposition from environmental groups and local community members.
