Tamil Nadu airport infrastructure: Excitement in the air — preparing the ground for take off

The Hindu  

The Tamil Nadu government has made good progress in land acquisition for expanding infrastructure at airports, a major factor that had stalled the expansion plans of the Airports Authority of India for long at such places as Coimbatore and Tiruchi. Coimbatore airport Work on the long-pending expansion of the Coimbatore International Airport is expected to commence soon, after the AAI issued a letter of approval on October 18, accepting the transfer of the land acquired by the State government. “With land acquisition completed, the AAI should expedite all other formalities and execute the master plan at the earliest for the construction of a state-of-the-art airport, with the involvement of local stakeholders at every stage. A swanky new terminal with a capacity to handle about 4.5 million passengers a year became operational at the Tiruchi International Airport in June. Madurai airport Though the Madurai airport got a new terminal building in 2010 and international flights are being operated to Singapore, Dubai, and Colombo, the airport is yet to get international status.
