Air show begins at CIAL

Nedumbassery: The executive business jet aircraft service has tremendous possibilities in Kerala, Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) Managing Director C G Krishnadas Nair said here on Saturday.
He was inaugurating a static display of business jets at the MRO building of the CIAL. At present, around 100 executive business jet aircraft are being used by corporate and business magnates in the country. Orders have been given to procure around 130 more such aircraft. It is expected that at least 500 business jet aircraft will be sold in the future, Nair added.
The CIAL plans to set up a dedicated terminal for the operation of private jet service, close to the main airport, which will provide parking and maintenance facilities. A permanent construction of parking bay for such private aircraft is expected to attract more such aircraft. The terminal is now available only in Chennai and Bangalore.
The air show, though market-oriented, would also boost the brand name of the CIAL, Nair said. The two-day static display organised by the CIAL in association with the Titan Aviation, a Dubaibased Aviation Service Major, will conclude on Sunday.
Phenom 100 Light Business Jet, King Air C 90 B Turbo prop, Cessna 172 Piston Engine, Lear 60 X R Private Jet are displayed.
