Enhancing connectivity, better amenities and improving the logistics infrastructure are likely to be the major prospects of privatisation of the 85-year-old Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.
The ruling CPM in Kerala and opposition party Congress are strongly against the decision of the BJP government at the centre to hand over the airport to the Adani group. Their major concern is over the airport ownership, especially since the 630-acre airport land was given by the state, even as the fact was that the airport’s ownership would continue to be with the centre and only operations, management and development are being leased out for 50 years.
