THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The civil works for Air India's engineering and maintenance base (hangar) unit to be set up near the international airport here was inaugurated today by Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that a master plan for the development of the airport in the state capital was being prepared. The proposed airport at Kannur would become a reality in the next three years.
He said Air India should try to reduce the fares in different sectors. The first phase of work on the unit at the land provided by the state government was expected to be completed within a year, he said.
Two new flights would be introduced from Thiruvananthapuram by the end of this month, Air India Chairman V Thulasidas said at the function.
A daily flight would be operated from here to Delhi through Kochi and another to Mumbai for connection to international services.
The hangar unit, an ultra-modern engineering facility, can accommodate two narrow body new generation aircraft at the same time.
With rainwater harvesting, solar powered and CFL facilities, the base would be made eco-friendly to maintain the safety and service standards of Air India.
