Chennai International Airport (MAA) is Tamil Nadu’s primary international gateway and a major South India hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines. Located about 13 km south of the city center, it’s typically reachable in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based cabs are the most common option, with auto-rickshaws and prepaid airport taxis often costing more predictably. The emerging metro extension and dedicated airport shuttle bus provide cheaper alternatives, usually taking 40–70 minutes and offering budget-friendly fares. Pros: comprehensive international connections, modern terminals and a range of lounges. Cons: peak-hour congestion and occasional delays on road transfers can affect convenience.
Madurai Airport (IXM) serves as a regional gateway in Tamil Nadu, typically handling a mix of domestic scheduled services and some regional connections rather than being a major international hub. Carriers are usually full-service Indian airlines along with a handful of budget operators; fares can be competitive for short-haul routes but often rise around peak festival periods. The airport sits about 12–20 km from Madurai city centre, with taxi and app-based rides taking roughly 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the low hundreds of rupees; shared autos and occasional bus services may be cheaper but slower. Pros: relatively quick security and compact terminal; cons: limited long-haul options and fewer premium lounges.
