The Centre on Sunday said the Cochin Naval Base will be thrown open for commercial flight
operations from the morning of August 20, bringing a huge relief to people awaiting the
resumption of air service from Kochi.
The main Cochin international airport, the seventh busiest in the country, has been rendered nonfunctional
from August 14 due to flooding and torrential rains and would remain closed till August
26. As a result, both domestic and international flights to Kochi are being diverted to other
destinations such as Trivandrum and Calicut.
"In view of disruption of flights from Cochin airport due to floods, a joint team sent by @MoCA_GoI
has approved starting of scheduled commercial flights using ATRs by Alliance Air, a subsidiary of
