The Chennai Meenambakkam Airport has revised its parking policy to enhance convenience for disabled passengers, senior citizens, patients, and pregnant women by extending the free parking duration for vehicles carrying such passengers.Previously, vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers at domestic and international terminals were allowed a 10-minute free parking window, after which a fee of ₹85 was charged for every 30 minutes beyond that period.Under the new policy, the free parking window has been extended from 10 minutes to 15 minutes for vehicles carrying disabled, elderly, or pregnant passengers, accompanied by the issuance of special airport parking passes for such vehicles.
Vehicles exiting the parking area within 15 minutes will not be charged any fee; however, vehicles exceeding this duration will be charged the applicable parking fee for the next 30 minutes.
This change is effective immediately and aims to provide smoother access and added convenience for passengers with special needs, acknowledging the extra time they may require for drop-off or pick-up at the airport.
