Chennai International Airport (MAA) at Meenambakkam, approximately 21 km west-southwest of the city center, is India's second-largest airline hub for cargo transportation. It ranks third among Indian airports for international cargo after Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM). The airport has two parallel runways, parallel taxiways, and separate international and domestic cargo terminals that facilitate day-night operations for both domestic and international flights.
With a cargo handling capacity of more than 400,000 metric tonnes a year, Chennai Airport links Southern India to key international trade centers such as Singapore, Dubai, Frankfurt, London, and Hong Kong. It boasts cutting-edge infrastructure, including cold storage and automatic cargo handling systems, and is ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and OHSAS 18001 (Occupational Health and Safety) certified to operate on a global level.
Its proximity to key industrial parks like Sriperumbudur, Oragadam, and Hosur strengthens its position as a key gateway for bulk exports of electronics, pharmaceuticals, auto components, and IT hardware.
