Thiruvanathapuram airport may be partially closed for three months

Thiruvanathapuram: The Thiruvanathapuram Airport may be partially closed for six hours daily for three months from April 1 in view of the works on the new terminal.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials here have forwarded a proposal in this regard to the AAI headquarters and are awaiting a final nod.
“We have proposed that the Airport be closed from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. for three months from April 1. A final decision on this has to be taken by the headquarters in consultation with several other agencies concerned,” Airport Director N. Nagraj told this website’s newspaper.
The Airport is proposed to be closed in order to carry out the works on merging the parking bay of the new terminal with the runway.
The schedule of several flights will have to be changed if the Airport is closed partially. The closure of the Airport would also affect the movement of the flights flying over the limits of the Thiruvananthapuram Air Traffic Unit.
