Chennai3 routesUpdated 2026-09-28

Getting to and from Chennai International Airport by public transport, without the guesswork. Chennai International Airport keeps things simple, with a handful of public transport options to choose from — two in total. Check out the list below to find the best option for you, and remember to confirm the details directly with the service provider before travelling.

01

Metropolitan Transport Corporation (Chennai) Ltd

Metropolitan Transport Corporation (Chennai) Ltd is the Tamil Nadu government undertaking that runs the city's nationalised public bus network across the Chennai Metropolitan Area. Two dedicated services, MAA1 and MAA2, link Chennai International Airport directly to Kilambakkam and Siruseri via Pallavaram, Tambaram and the OMR corridor, giving arriving passengers single-fare access onto the wider MTC city bus network rather than a separate airport-only service.
