Kozhikode: Work on the construction of a new international arrival block at the Karipur International Airport will begin shortly after securing the final clearance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The 17,000-sq metre block will have additional facilities, including more number of Immigration and Customs counters.
Speaking at an interactive meeting on the development of Karipur International Airport, organised by the Malabar Chamber of Commerce here on Thursday, newly appointed Airport director Peter K. Abraham said the construction would begin within two months as the tendering process had been completed. “We have already got environmental clearance from the State government and the clearance of the Union government is likely shortly,” he added.
Mr.. Abraham said the new arrival block, to be constructed on the ‘green building concept’, would have 48 Immigration counters and 20 Customs counters. “This will be in addition to the existing 14 Immigration counters and four Customs counters. Also, there will be five more conveyer belts.” .
