Steps to develop operational area of Kannur airport

Kannur International Airport Limited (KIAL) is to float prequalification tenders for selecting the agency for developing the operational area of the proposed fourth international airport in the State at Mattannur in Kannur.
The agency being selected by KIAL will be entrusted with the preparatory works connected with the construction of a 3400-metre runway, parallel taxiway, apron, fire station, fuel farm, and ancillary infrastructure facilities for the airport.
Official sources told The Hindu that the agency selected would be given the job of the earthwork and the tenders for the construction of the runway would be floated after this preparatory work and clearing of the ground profile. KIAL had announced that the tenders for the construction of the runway would be floated this month in the wake of the submission of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the airport by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).
