Two
foreign exchange counters were launched at the international airport here on
Monday to offer passengers a range of foreign exchange services.
The services of Thomas Cook (India) Ltd. in the departure and
arrival terminal of the airport were inaugurated by Airport Director V.N.
Chandran. The integrated travel and travel-related financial services company
is re-entering the airport after a gap of five years to offer foreign exchange
services.
Addressing a press conference, Mohan Krishna H, company
vice-president, Foreign Exchange, said it had bagged the services from the
Airports Authority of India for a three-year term through a bidding process.
The services being offered include buying and selling currency and travellers
cheques and prepaid cards while travelling to and from the country, he said.
He said foreign exchange transactions were to the tune of Rs.5.5
crore a month when the company exited from the premier airport of the State in
2007. Customers, he said, now had access to 11 dedicated forex outlets across
the State. “We will give value-added services from the counters in the airport
and the rates will be similar to those in other 23 airports of the country,” he
said.
