Exemptions for Kannur airport


Thiruvananthapuram, Nov. 22:  
The Ministry of Defence has exempted the proposed Kannur international airport from ‘a couple of exacting’ conditionalities which helps the State Govern-ment’s cause, according to K. Babu, Minister in charge of the project. This became possible after Defence Minister A.K. Antony intervened in the matter, he said. Exemptions are applicable to conditions that demand that the airport company provide free of cost 10 acres of land for setting up a naval air enclave within the command area and inducting a nominee of Southern Naval Command on the board. Minister Babu had written to Antony requesting waiver of both these conditions. The required land may now be provided on long-term lease basis only.
