Chennai airport bracing to handle an increase in traffic

Officials say adequate manpower will be deployed in time
In a few months, Chennai airport may be handling more number of domestic and international flights as the daily tally of COVID-19 cases is dipping, and more passengers are taking flights.
The airport must handle passenger and cargo aircraft efficiently with a single ground-handling agency (that carries out a host of jobs from handling baggage to assisting airlines on the tarmac). Air India Airport Services Ltd. took over as the ground-handling agency early this year after the previous contractor Bhadra’s term ended in December last year.
Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said till last year, two firms were used for ground-handling operations but there was only one operator now.
