For passengers who have always felt a sense of discomfort using toilets at Chennai airport, there may be some relief on the way
Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said they plan to renovate the toilets in the domestic terminal and the departure hall of the international terminal
“We recently got the approval to execute this work. Eleven toilet (blocks) in the domestic terminal in both the departure and arrival halls and five toilet (blocks) in the departure hall of the international terminal will be renovated
Since the old international arrival hall will be demolished completely as part of phase II modernisation project and rebuilt, the toilets in that building alone are not going to be renovated,” an official said
Chennai airport’s passenger and air traffic has been growing rapidly; over 30,000 passengers travel through the airport every day and there are over 500 aircraft movements a day. With such a growth, it has become important to retain the washrooms clean in the terminals, as it is one of the basic facilities a passenger expects
AAI has appointed a consultant to provide recommendations on how to carry out the work
Tenders will be called for soon and subsequently, when the contract is awarded to a firm, work will begin, officials said. “The Fittings in all toilets and doors will be changed; also, the existing flooring does not have a slope which sometimes leads to water stagnation. So, the new flooring will have a slight slope and it will be anti-slippery too,” another official said.Also, the staff who clean the toilets have been given regular training, officials said. “The consultant will also suggest how often the toilets have to be cleaned,” he added
