Nedumbassery: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Friday said the State Government would entrust the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) with the task of constructing an air strip at Bekal and eight helipads in various parts of the State.
He was speaking after inaugurating the new international terminal (T-3) at the CIAL here.
The State Government will identify the land required for the project and hand over the same to CIAL Infrastructure - a subsidiary of the Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL).
CIAL International Terminal Completed in Record Time
"Air Kerala is a dream project of the State. The Central Government’s reluctance to waive the Rule-5/20, which mandates five years’ domestic flying experience and a fleet strength of least 20 aircraft for all airlines in the country, for flying abroad, has been a stumbling block for the project. However, the State Government will strive to implement the project by seeking exemption from the Central Government,” he said, adding that the CIAL would soon start direct flights from Kochi to Europe and Australia. “Work on eight small hydel projects and enhancement of capacity at the existing solar power plants are progressing,” he said, adding that the CIAL had proved its efficiency by completing the new international terminal well within the deadline and at a much lower cost, thereby setting a model for the entire nation.
CIAL managing director V J Kurian delivered the introductory speech, while CIAL executive director A M Shabeer presented the technical report.
