Thiruvananthapuram: Airports authority of India backs multi-modal hub at Trivandrum airport
The airports authority of India (AAI) has agreed to give its backing for a multi-modal hub at the Trivandrum international airport.
The proposal if implemented will make the airport the only one in its category to have access to all five modes of transport.
"The propensity of the airport to become the only airport in its category, having all five modes of transport - rail, road, air, inland waterway and sea - forming a great hub, will generate more traffic and demonstrate the contemporary outlook of a modern airport," AAI member planning S Raheja has said in his letter to the chief secretary.
The proposal a brainchild of Thiruvananthapuram airport director VN Chandran, has been well-received by AAI HQ, so much so that the Member Planning AAI, S Raheja, has shot off.
