Kochi: Indian Navy will set up a Naval Aircraft Enclave at Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL). An MoU in this regard was signed on Wednesday between CIAL and the Navy.
The proposed Naval Aircraft Enclave will comprise a hanger for bigger aircraft of the Navy, administrative office, disbursal centre, apron capable of holding 2 Boeing type aircrafts and a taxi track.
The construction will begin shortly at 10 acres of land owned by the Navy at CIAL.
The current landing strip of the Navy is insufficient for new-generation aircraft such as P-8I long-range maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
