#Paranthur Airport
Chennai urgently needs a 5,000+ acre next generation aviation hub with two “independent parallel” 4000Mtrs+ CodeF runways, MRO facilities, cargo terminals, aerospace industries, logistics parks, hotels and some room for future expansion.
The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation’s reply to Honourable MP @PWilsonDMK in the Rajya Sabha confirms that the Government of India granted ‘In-Principle’ approval for the #Parandur Greenfield International #Airport on 07.04.2025, based on TIDCO’s proposal.
This is yet another affirmation that the #DravidianModel Government under the leadership of the then Honourable Chief Minister @mkstalin meticulously secured every statutory and stage-wise approval required to make #Chennai’s long-awaited ***dual independent runway*** Greenfield International Airport a reality. 🛫
Tamil Nadu cannot afford to mortgage its future to political grandstanding.
Chennai urgently needs a 5,000+ acre next generation aviation hub with two “independent parallel” 4000Mtrs+ CodeF runways (not intersecting runways like Meenambakam which curtails runway capacity with lengths of 3600+Mtrs Code4E and 2000+Mtrs Code 3C ), MRO facilities, cargo terminals, aerospace industries, logistics parks, hotels and some room for future expansion.
The site was chosen after extensive technical evaluation, balancing aviation requirements, connectivity, future scalability and minimising overall social and environmental impact.
The #DravidianModel Government recognised the pain and angst of the affected villages and designed one of India’s most comprehensive rehabilitation and compensation packages to ensure affected families receive the best possible support while enabling a project that will benefit generations to come.
Every responsible political party must rise above short-term politics and support transformational infrastructure that will shape Tamil Nadu’s future. Every decision on critical infrastructure must ultimately be guided by science, technical expertise and the long-term interests of Tamil Nadu.
It is deeply unfortunate that a project of such strategic importance now stands clouded by uncertainty, with the Government maintaining silence while media reports speculate that it has been abandoned.
Our State deserves consensus, not political obstruction.

G Square has consistently stated that it owns no land in Parandur, either directly or indirectly.
If the government's worry centres on politicians holding land there, it should freeze the assets or launch a proper investigation, neither of which has occurred.
🚨Parandur was AAI's final choice!!
All lies are being exposed. Parandur was chosen due to best connectivity, less family displaced, more land, less obstacles.

Thai AirAsia suspending Trichy - Bangkok with last flights set to take place on 31st May 2025.
Trichy joins Vizag in the cancellation of Air Asia's flight to Bangkok Don Mueang.
It gives me immense pleasure to share that the Ministry of Civil Aviation has granted in-principle approval for the new Perandur Airport!
Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, growing passenger demand is being addressed by strengthening airport capacity across the country, especially in mega cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai through the development of second airports.
I believe the Perandur Airport represents a significant step towards enhancing regional connectivity and NDA Govt is committed in further bolstering Tamil Nadu’s aviation infrastructure.
Air India Express officially enters #Trichy’s domestic market starting today. A new chapter in connectivity and opportunities begins !!!
This will shortly be followed by their 4x weekly #Mumbai(BOM)- #Trichy (TRZ) service from Summer.
