AAI to begin second phase work of Thiruvananthapuram terminal soon

Thiruvananthapuram: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to take up the Rs.80.58-crore second phase work of the world class international terminal complex of the Thiruvananthapuram airport soon.
The work on the Rs.165-crore first phase, which includes Rs.115-crore terminal building, apron and car park, is progressing as per schedule and is slated for commissioning in December 2008.
“Rather than waiting to complete the first phase in September 2008, we have decided to take up the second phase work on the Chakka side simultaneously and to complete the Rs.245.58-crore terminal project at one go,” Airport Director N. Nagraj said.
The plan was to commence the second phase work in September 2008 and to complete it in 2010.
AAI Executive Director (Engineering) V.K. Choudhari is in the city to hold talks with the authorities and the consultant of the project to find out the feasibility.
