Kerala Government yet to hand over land for AI engineering base

Thiruvananthapuram: The Government is yet to hand over 6.07 hectares of land to Air-India to set up the Rs.70 crore engineering base for Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the vicinity of the Thiruvananthapuram international airport.
Although the airline has received the official letter from the Government offering 6.07 hectares of land, the physical possession of the land had not been given to the national carrier. "Till date, we have not got the land promised to us free of cost by the State Government," Chairman and Managing Director of Air India V. Thulasidas told The Hindu .
The airline authorities had been unsuccessfully pursuing the matter with the State Government at various levels for the last couple of months. The delay in handing over the land figured in the meeting Mr. Thulasidas had with Chief Secretary Mohammed Riazuddin on Thursday.
