PARANDUR AIRPORT ✈️: Why Chennai needs it. #Aviation #Infra

Landowners for Parandur Airport get:
🔹 3-4x market value compensation
🔹 Alternate housing near the site (tenders out)
🔹 Promised government jobs

➡️ Chennai urgently needs a new airport. The existing Meenambakkam airport has a max capacity of 35 MPA, making it the smallest by area. Competitors like Bengaluru (70 MPA) and Hyderabad (70 MPA) have higher capacities. Mumbai and Delhi are building second airports; Bengaluru plans a third.

➡️ Airports serve more than just the wealthy. Indian Airlines have 1,000+ planes on order; new airports are essential for the next 10 years. Parandur will support a full ecosystem (Logistics, Warehousing, Hotels, MRO), creating jobs for lakhs.
