Most Dangerous Airports in India

Moreover, there are a total of twelve international airports in India. In addition, most of them are famous for its construction, its facilities, and services. However, there are certain airports that put the country to shame. Here are a few of them.

1.     Chennai International Airport, Chennai

Chennai International Airport is the fourth busiest airport in India. Also, it is the first airport in India where international and domestic terminals are next to each other. However, the airport is not as good as it should be.

  • It is not clean,

Unfortunately, the airport is in mess and needs a lot of improvement. It is overcrowded and has long queues everywhere.

Moreover, one of the main reasons behind this overcrowding is the road transport. It is not very good and train service is absent in Srinagar.

Hence, passengers are heavily depended upon air transport, especially during winter. In addition, due to the pathetic condition of the state, there are several checks and security points, which is a great pain and takes a lot of time. It also needs many renovations. Besides, the staff is not co-operative and airport is always in filthy condition.

3.   Bagdogra Airport, Bagdogra

Bagdogra Airport is situated at 16 km west of the Siliguri city, Darjeeling, West Bengal. However, the airport is very outdated and needs to be upgraded.

Moreover, when you are at the airport it looks like as if you have travelled back to history. Furthermore, facilities and conditions are not up to the mark. Airport architecture needs to be revised.
