The Adani Group has seized the operation, management and development of the international airport in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram, saying it’s now a Gateway to Goodness.
Announcing the formal takeover of the airport, the business giant said during a tweet that it absolutely was privileged to serve and welcome passengers to God’s Own Country.
“Connecting lives with cherished travel experiences, we are pleased to share that #ThiruvananthapuramAirport is now a #GatewayToGoodness. We are privileged to serve and welcome passengers to God”s Own Country full of lush greenery, beautiful beaches, and exquisite cuisine”, the group said within the tweet, both in English and Malayalam, past midnight on Thursday.
The group took over the operations of the airport despite protest by both ruling LDF and opposition UDF against handing it over to personal players.
Last year, the Kerala Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution protesting the privatisation of the airport.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had criticised the takeover of the airport by the Adani group, saying it had been not for the event of the ability but to guard the interest of monopolies.
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is that the first of 4 airports within the state. Established in 1932, the airport was owned and operated by Airports Authority of India.
