The commencement of
flight operations from the Kannur international airport as per the roadmap is
likely to be delayed for a multitude of reasons, Minister for Ports and Excise
K. Babu has said.
Replying to questions
in the Assembly on Monday, he said 783 acres of land had to be acquired for the
third phase of the project and it got delayed as the Detailed Project Report
was not ready. The Rs.400- crore earthwork for the runway, which would begin
soon, would take 28 months and the commencement of the functioning of the
airport in 2014 as per the roadmap would be delayed. He said steps had been
initiated to issue shares through the Kannur International Airport Society
Private Limited. As many as 6,000 had applied for the shares,.
