Tens of thousands of Kerala expatriates working around the world and millions of pilgrims who make an annual pilgrimage to the Sabarimala temple in the state are hopeful once more as talks are afoot for a new international airport in Kottayam or Pathanamthitta district.
The airport is likely to be established near Erumely, the gateway to the Sabarimala temple in Pathanamthitta district.
If a formal announcement regarding the airport comes soon, it will be an ideal Christmas gift for millions of people in the area.
The airport will benefit expatriates from Kerala’s Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, Idukki and Alappuzha districts, who now have no option but to land at the Kochi or Thiruvananthapuram airport and take the expensive and time-consuming road journey to reach home.
The new airport is seen to be a necessity for people in the central Travancore area, who make up a significant percentage of the Kerala expatriates around the world.
