Cochin International
Airport Ltd (CIAL) is preparing for a Rs 700 crore expansion of its
international terminal, set to start in December. The project will increase
aircraft capacity from 36 to 44 and includes a new 1.5 million square foot
apron on the northern side. An additional 500,000 square feet will be added to
the terminal, featuring high-end retail outlets and luxury lounges. The apron
is nearing completion, and CIAL has recently launched a luxury aero lounge,
with the Digi Yatra initiative for faster security checks introduced in late
2023.
