Kochi: The fate of over $ 400 million greenfield international airport project at Aranmula will be decided in the next few days as the files pertaining to the project are waiting for the final clearance before the Defence Ministry, which had earlier raised serious concern about the project.
The Defence Ministry has been objecting to the proposed airport project as the air space of the proposed airport was transgressing the air space of the INS Garuda in Kochi. KGS Aranmula International Airport Limited spokesperson Senny Varghese said though the project got the required clearance from the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation and other agencies concerned, they need to get a clearance from the Defence Ministry to kick-start the construction activities.
The Directorate of Naval Air Staff has been raising its concern over the proposed airport project as the airport was in an aerial distance of less than 100 km of the INS Garuda.
