Nine airliners express interest in operating services from Madurai Airport, boosting growth and connectivity in the region.
Nine airliners, both domestic and international operators, evinced keen interest to operate their services from Madurai Airport to different destinations within the country and outside.
At a meeting organised by Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry with airliners in the backdrop of recent commencement of 24x7 operation of Madurai Airport, here on Friday, Madurai MP, Su. Venkatesan, said that after announcement of 24x7 operation, other long-felt demands of declaring Madurai Airport as an international terminal would come very soon.
He said that these developments would take care of the issues like Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement for Madurai to operate flights to other countries and runway extension would fall in place.
With Madurai having 500 start-ups in the last three years and AIIMS and development of Madurai Airport and Madurai Railway station would help spur growth of Madurai city and its fruits would reach all its people.
Madurai Airport Director, P. Muthu Kumar, said that the round-the-clock operation would help the airliners make use of the flight parking facility at Madurai Airport. This will facilitate late night arrival at Madurai and early morning departure from Madurai.
Chamber President, N. Jegatheesan, pointed out that Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation was not ready to hand over the Madurai Inner Ring Road to National Highways Authority of India.
“This was hindering the process of NHAI to build an underpass so that runway of Madurai Airport extension can be taken up,” he said.
