Proposal for setting up airport city on 100 acres will come up before CIAL board soon, says outgoing managing director V.J. Kurien
Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), which blazed a trail by becoming the first airport in the world to depend solely on solar power for its day-to-day operations, now plans to become the first airport in the world that will not impose landing and parking charges. Plans are ready to diversify revenue streams and to replace the income from landing and parking charges with the income from them. “Kochi hopes to operate without landing and parking charges by 2030,” said its outgoing managing director V.J. Kurien here. Mr. Kurien was interacting with media persons at the airport office as he retires on Wednesday after serving the airport for a period of around 20 years since its inception in 1992.
