PVR Aerohub, India’s first multiplex in an airport complex, opens in Chennai

PVR Cinemas has launched its new Aerohub multiplex in Chennai, which would be India’s first multiplex in an airport complex. Located in the airport complex of Chennai International Airport, the new multiplex has five screens and a total seating capacity of 1,155. In addition to serving passengers arriving and departing from the airport, Aerohub will also be accessible to residents and visitors to the headquarters surrounding the airport, and is not exclusive to visitors to the airport itself. .

The multiplex features modern equipment and compatibility with current generation projection technologies, including 2K RGB+ laser projectors, Real D 3D stereoscopic projection and Dolby Atmos audio. Passengers arriving or departing from Chennai International Airport will naturally benefit the most from PVR Aerohub’s location, especially those looking to find something to do before or in between flights transiting through Chennai.

“Setting up a cinema next to the airport is strategic as we aim to provide a cinematic experience for travellers/passengers who might arrive at Chennai airport early to catch their flight or wait for a delayed flight while effectively utilizing their free time. With a strong lineup of content and huge pent-up demand from movie connoisseurs, we are confident that our customers will enjoy our new cinema for a holistic cinematic experience,” said Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, co-director general of PVR.

PVR is among the leading multiplex chains in India and notably established the country’s first multiplex in Saket, Delhi in 1997. The company currently operates 182 cinemas in 78 cities in India and Sri Lanka with a total of 908 screens, which which makes it one of the leading movie theater operators in the country.

In Chennai itself, PVR operates 12 cinemas with a total of 77 screens, with the Aerohub multiplex being the latest to open.
