New terminal for Kozhikode International Airport

A world-class terminal will be commissioned at the Kozhikode airport in March, a senior official said. Airport officiating director V S P Chinson said 95% of the civil work has been completed and the terminal was fast nearing completion. A high-power committee from the Airport Authority of India visited the airport in the northern Kerala city last week to review progress of the Rs900mn project. In the initial stage, only three aerobridges will be commissioned followed by two more. At least 1,000 passengers would be able to use the terminal at a time against the present capacity of 300. Three conveyor belts of 60m will be added to the new international terminal. The number of checking counters at the domestic terminal will be increased from five to 11 and from 10 to 28 at the international terminal.
