Chennai, September 17, 2018: Ola, India’s leading and one of the world’s largest ridesharing companies, has entered into a strategic alliance with Chennai international airport to extend its range of mobility offering to commuters, through designated Ola Zones and kiosks.

Through this partnership, passengers at the Chennai International Airport will now be able to also book a cab with the assistance of Ola representatives stationed at Ola kiosks set up outside domestic and international arrival terminals. Ola kiosks will enable uninterrupted access to mobility, and a convenient booking experience for commuters even without a smartphone or Ola app. Additionally, Ola Zones have also been set up providing dedicated parking to cabs thereby helping in easing the parking and traffic issue at the stations.
