The Cochin International Airport which operates India’s first privatised airport in Kochi has plans for a major
expansion at the airport.
The ambitious plan involves an investment of INR10billion, which includes an international terminal complex. Besides the terminal complex, the other projects are a golf course, an aviation safety training institute, an integrated airport management system, a solar power unit, a duty-free warehousing complex and a golf academy.
The terminal, with three-times more built-up area of 1.5 million sq ft, will have facilities to handle 10 million passengers a year. The two-level terminal will have 15 aerobridges, 19 boarding gates, over 100 check-in counters, 100 immigration counters, duty free shops of 30,000 square feet at departure and arrival lounges and six baggage conveyer belts. The new terminal is likely to open in the next two and a half years, reported the Khaleej Times.
