Kerala airports hailed for providing refuelling facility to Sri Lankan flights
With Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi international airports in Kerala providing refuelling facility, so far, to around 120 aircraft operating from Sri Lanka, Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia has applauded the Kerala airports for helping the crisis-hit nation.
“Kudos Trivandrum & Kochi airports for demonstrating the Indian spirit of ‘vasudhaiv kutumbakam’. The airports have gone beyond their call of duty by allowing technical landing to 120+ aircraft bound for Sri Lanka. The gesture will go a long way in furthering ties with our neighbour,” Scindia tweeted.
Since the last week of May, around 90 aircraft made technical landing in the Adani group-run Thiruvananthapuram airport for refuelling while 30 aircraft made technical landing at the Cochin international airport,
