Chennai International Airport [SEP] Airport terminals
Madras Airport was one of the first airports of India, commissioned in 1948. The airport was built on land donated by the former governor of Madras Presidency, K Sriramulu Naidu. Although the first aircraft "de Havilland" landed in Madras Airport in 1932, the usage was confined only to military operations during World War II. In 1952, the Civil Aviation Department took over its operations followed by the AAI in 1972. The first passenger art deco–style terminal was completed in 1954 on the North East side of Meenambakkam village, thus being referred to as Meenambakkam Airport. In the early 80's a new terminal was built at Tirusulam and passenger operations were shifted.
