The government on Friday appointed former chairman and managing director of Air India V. Thulasidas as the Managing Director (MD) of the Kannur International Airport Limited (KIAL).
“The government order to this effect has been served to Mr. Thulasidas, who is in the capital,” official sources told The Hindu .
For Mr. Thulasidas, this will be the second term as MD of the KIAL. He will take over on Saturday at the corporate office of the KIAL in the capital.
Mr. Thulasidas succeeds G. Chandramouli, who was the managing director since July 2013. Mr. Chandramouli, General Manager (Commercial), Airports Authority of India, and former director of the Thiruvananthapuram international airport, was appointed as MD on deputation after the post fell vacant following the resignation of Mr. Thulasidas on April 30, 2012.
The new appointment comes even as the government was processing the file for extending the services of Mr. Chandramouli.
The expertise of Mr. Thulasidas in the aviation sector in the country and in Oman weighed in his favour. Former Civil Aviation Secretary M. Madhavan Nambiar was also considered by the government for the post.
