CIAL to award Rs 700 crore for international terminal expansion


Cochin International Airport Ltd (CIAL) is poised to invest Rs 700 crore in the expansion of its international terminal, with construction set to begin in December. Upon completion, the terminal will accommodate 44 aircraft, an increase from the current capacity of 36.

An official commented, "The terminal will feature a stunning variety of retail outlets and luxurious lounge areas, ensuring an exceptional standard of service. A key aspect of the project is a new apron covering 1.5 million square feet on the northern side, alongside a terminal expansion of 500,000 square feet."

The official added that work on the apron is nearing completion. Last year, CIAL planned seven major development projects, one of which—a luxury aero lounge with accommodation facilities—was launched last month. Additionally, the Digi Yatra initiative, designed for expedited security checks, was inaugurated in October 2023.
