I Think Chennai Airport Rocks
I did not have any problems landing on or departing from Chennai International Airport. The airport has the facility to place walkways close to your landing, so that you don't have to take a crowded bus to the arrival area or departure area. I had horrid experiences in crowded buses and with customs in Mumbai and New Delhi airports. Among the three biggest cities of India, Chennai has the least hassles. Especially, when you have been on a flight of nearly 24 hours due to delays and missed connections, the last thing you would expect is hassles at the airport. Customs at the Chennai Airport is always friendly and efficient compared to Mumbai. Security is also friendly and efficient compared to the New Delhi airport. For the amount of air traffic that Chennai handles, in my opinion, Chennai airport totally rocks. I would rate it the best international airport in INDIA.

Growing!
Madras is my home town. Agreed ! We are a developing country, hence it would not be apt to compare our standards with the developed nations. Very optimistic that the Madras Airport will look much more better than the rest of the Indian airports. All said and done, we need to give time. Also every individual should have the responsibility to have it clean and green. Madras airport is well connected and thanks to the boom in the aviation sector, we have all walks of people using the airports and good connectivity like trains, bus and cabs make it easy commuting. People at the airport are always willing to help you and many a time very humble. Travelling to Madras is a pleasure. :-)

Not The Best But Definitely Not the Worst
Chennai Airport is situated somehow very close to the city. Unlike the KLIA (Malaysia), Chennai Airport can be accessed very easily from anywhere in the city. It's not the best airport one can find but is definitely NOT the worse one.

Transportation from the airport is quiet easy. One can easily get a cab/autorickshaw or walk down to plight a metro train.

Customs of Chennai is far more better than any other Customs clearance in India.
