Old terminal to house airport control centre

Thiruvananthapuram: The Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC), the command, coordination and control centre for the airport here, will be housed in the old domestic terminal on the Shanghumughom side.
The domestic cargo terminal, to be owned and managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), will also be housed in the old terminal that has been remaining unused since the domestic flight operations were shifted to the old international terminal. The AAI has already given a portion of the domestic terminal to the Coast Guard for setting up its air enclave.
“The AAI board have given the clearance and the work on the AOCC and the domestic cargo terminal is in full swing,” Airport Director V.N. Chandran told The Hindu. The AOCC will bring airport operations’ management under information technology-based systems with the aim of improving effectiveness and efficiency of services and enhancing security.
