Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government on Tuesday said it has decided to open heliports in all 14 districts of the state to facilitate tourism.
"We had earlier decided to open feeder airports in districts like Wayanad and Idukki, but faced opposition to it from the local people. Hence we have decided to drop that proposals and instead will open heliports - a facility for the smooth landing and takeoff of helicopters," Ports Minister K. Babu, who oversees the aviation needs of the state, told reporters here.
He said each heliport will come up on 10-acre plots.
