Hundreds of passengers travelling to international destinations including London, Dubai, Singapore, Doha and Myanmar allegedly faced hours-long delays at Chennai airport on Tuesday morning after several entry gates to the international terminal remained closed during peak departure hours.
According to airport sources, around 17 international flights were scheduled to depart between 5 am and 11 am. However, despite the international terminal having 12 entry points, including 10 double-sided access gates, key gates numbered 5, 8, 9 and 10 remained locked.
