THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Over three years after the controversial shutdown of the Plus Max duty-free shop at the Thiruvananthapuram airport, a joint venture between the Adani Group and the Dubai-based Flemingo International is likely to reopen the shop coinciding with the former’s takeover of the airport next month.
Sources close to the customs said the new party is expected to make a proposal to the customs soon to get the licence to run the duty-free shop. An unofficial discussion has already taken place and it is learnt the customs have no objection to issue a licence to the new party, as there is no legal hurdle in doing so with the airport having been leased out to a private party.
