Sri Lanka invites Cochin airport builders for new airport

Kochi: International Airport to construct an airport in that country. Talks on the proposal will begin in Colombo Jan 28.
The Cochin airport is India's first airport built under public-private partnership. Kerala government and several NRIs hold stakes in the Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL), which built the airport and still operates it.
A seven-member CIAL delegation led by its managing director S. Bharath will hold talks with Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and other Lankan leaders on the proposal.
The talks will be spread over six days from Jan 28, he said.
Bharath said CIAL is ready to provide a full turnkey solution for the proposed airport in Sri Lanka.
It was almost two years ago that Rajapaksa mooted the idea of CIAL building an airport in his country when he flew to Kochi en route to Shri Krishna Temple at Guruvayoor.
