An Airport comprises many varied structures that facilitate passenger
and cargo movement, maintenance, and aircraft control, and other structures that provide for auxiliary support functions. The design involves planning volumes of airport terminal spaces functionally and aesthetically, reducing the delay in time taken during checking and security processes and other design considerations meeting the current and future passengers usage per annum by providing master plans. Overall increasing the efficiency of volumes with support facilities, By virtue turning into a Landmark for migration with in and out the nation. I. Scale of the Project: 23 million passengers p/a. II. Is it a Live project or a Hypothetical one? It is a live project. The site will be located at Sriperumbudhur of 4800 acres. Site details are yet to be received from AAI. III.
