Commissioning of terminal: AAI, State lock horns

Thiruvananthapuram: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the State Government locked horns over a pre-inaugural commissioning of the new terminal of the Thiruvananthapuram Airport.
Though the AAI was planning to commission the new terminal on December 12, the State Government has expressed its displeasure over commissioning the airport terminal before a formal inauguration.
“Earlier there was a move to go for a commissioning before inauguration as the election model code of conduct was in force. But now there are no technical hindrances for a formal inaugural function. Hence there is no need to go for a hasty commissioning,” Law Minister M Vijaykumar told Express.
“Since the Prime Minister had laid the foundation-stone for the new terminal, we feel that the Prime Minister himself should formally inaugurate it,” the Minister said.
