Chennai: Since the Airport Authority of India will be closing the main runaway for six hours everyday from July 1 to September 15 to facilitate construction of link ways, Air India has rescheduled its international flights to and from Chennai. Just to enhance the airport’s aircraft-handling capacity, the link ways are constructed to connect the secondary runway with the main one. The main runaway will be closed from 11 am to 5 pm everyday as workers will be using machinery close to it. A senior official of AAI said that more airlines had agreed to re-schedule their flights before work began. Since   there would not be many flights movements then, the closure period was chosen.

But there will not be a drastic change in the timings of domestic flights which would be operated from the secondary runway with load restrictions. He said most of the domestic flights were scheduled before 11 am and after 5 pm.Instead of 12.50 am, flight IC 555 on the Chennai-Singapore sector will leave Chennai at 12.15 am and instead of 9.45 am the flight IC 556 will arrive at 9 am. As far as flight IC 558 from Singapore is concerned, there is no change in the timing. But flight AI 817 will leave Chennai for Dammam at 10.30 am instead of 11.45 am.
