Kerala Government to To Take Air Kerala Project to Centre

Air Kerala the dream project of Kerala from very ling time now again have been uplifted by Kerala Government who are taking it to centre for securing sanction to its dream project.

‘Government had already written a letter to Union Civil Aviation Minister in this regard and I will take up the matter personally during the meeting with the minister’ Chandy informed the assembly while replying to a calling attention notice given by Abdurahiman Randhathani (IUML).

Randhathani wanted the government to take necessary steps to materialise the Air Kerala project to prevent exploitation of Non-Resident Keralites (NRK’s) especially working in Gulf countries by airline companies through frequent hike in fares.

Air Kerala, a company registered as a subsidiary of Cochin International Airport Ltd in 2005 could not commence operations mainly due to two conditions of the Centre for starting international services by any airline, Chandy said.

Stating that funds to start the project was not an issue as many NRK’s have offered to invest, Chandy said the state would seek exemption on the conditions from the new government.
