DGCA team to inspect Thiruvanathapuram new terminal

Thiruvanathapuram: A team of officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) would be inspecting the new terminal at the Thiruvanathapuram International Airport this week.
According to sources, the DGCA team would be inspecting the new terminal during September 22-24. The DGCA would be checking whether the new terminal meets the various technical standards, including security aspects. ‘’The inspection is quite crucial,’’ said sources.
With a formal commissioning of the new terminal getting delayed indefinitely, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) is also looking into the option of operating the new terminal prior to a formal launch. Once the DGCA’s clearance is received, the airport would become operational at any moment, depending on directions from the AAI, said sources.
Law Minister M Vijayakumar has convened a meeting of top officials of the AAI in Thiruvananthapuram and other State Government officials concerned on Wednesday to review the progress of the works, including that of the approach road.
