18 Oct 2024 CW Team

The plan includes significant upgrades to the airport's existing terminals, with provisions to accommodate the increasing number of international and domestic passengers. The modernization project aims to transform Thiruvananthapuram Airport into a world-class hub by enhancing amenities, improving baggage handling, and increasing the number of check-in counters. This will significantly reduce waiting times and elevate the overall travel experience.

In addition to passenger amenities, the development will also focus on expanding cargo facilities, supporting Kerala’s export industry, particularly in perishables like seafood, spices, and handicrafts. The upgraded cargo infrastructure will allow the state to tap into new markets, thus stimulating local businesses and employment opportunities.

The airport’s strategic location and its enhanced capacity will play a vital role in boosting Kerala’s tourism, which is a key contributor to the state’s economy. The state government has pledged support for the project, recognizing its potential to improve connectivity and drive economic growth in the region.

This Rs.1,300 crore investment is part of a larger effort by the Adani Group to modernize airports across India. By integrating world-class technology and facilities, the project aligns with India’s vision of strengthening its aviation infrastructure and improving its position as a global logistics and travel hub. The initiative is expected to provide a significant boost to Kerala’s economy, positioning Thiruvananthapuram Airport as a critical player in regional and international air travel.
