Steps progressing for expansion of Kozhikode airport

Thiruvananthapuram, March 15. (PTI): Steps are on for the expansion and modernisation of the Kozhikode International Airport, Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan told the State Assembly on Wednesday.



The National Airport Authority of India has asked for 162 acres of land adjacent to the existing airport for carrying out various expansion projects including construction of a terminal, a runway and flight maintenance unit, Achuthanandan said while replying to a submission.



The authority wanted the State Government to hand over the land free of cost and the Government has not taken a final decision on the matter, he said.



Discussion with authorities concerned and the Finance Department was progressing, he added.
