The screens also have the latest cinematic technologies with 2K RGB+ laser projectors, REAL 3D digital stereoscopic projection for crystal clear, razor-sharp, ultra-bright pictures and advanced Dolby Atmos high-definition immersive audio.
The Domestic and International passengers who arrives and departs from the Chennai airport have been using the five screen Multiplex for entertainment and the Multiplex is also allowed for the people residing in the surrounding locality of the airport.
Most of the area in East Wing of the MLCP are presently occupied by the outsiders who come to wtach movies and are not air passengers. About two months ago, a woman came to watch a movie with her two kids and jumped from the top and comitted suicide.
This has led to a lot of problems for both the inbound and outbound air passengers and ground staffs of Chennai ( Maa) International Airport, after which AII, the operators have decided to direct closure of the multiplex few days ago.
