Kochi airport invites bids to run 5-Star hotel project

KOCHI: The Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) has invited an expression of interest (EoI) for its proposed five-star hotel project coming up in Nedumbassery, near Terminal-3. As per the tender notice, the EoI is invited for the airport’s non-aero segment project, comprising a 112-room hotel on 1.75 lakh sq ft. Sources said the hotel would be a profitable venture, as the area lacks enough luxurious hotels. Besides 112-rooms, the project comprises a restaurant, coffee shop, specialty restaurant, bar, swimming pool, spa, banquets etc. Work on civil and MEP (mechanic, electrical, and plumbing) is going on.
