Airport for Kanyakumari on the cards

NAGERCOIL: The Government would soon take a decision to set up a civilian airport in Kanyakumari district, said Tourism Minister N. Suresh Rajan. via The Hindu

Kanyakumari is an international tourist spot in the world ,without an airport. It's very hard to digest.Gov ernment has to do some thing for keeping the name and fame of Kanyakumari growing with necessary infrastructure..........

[agentuae]

Yes..I like your idea.This will become a boon to the on going project

[SSathish kumar]

Not only for tourism,lot of wind mill officials from other country landing K.K daily .It will be very useful for them tooo..

Kanyakumari must be connected by Air. This will not only put Kanyakumari as a world destination for Tourists by air but also a definite boon for the NRI's from Madurai, Tirunelveli, Tthuthukudy and Kanyakumari districts who are currently using Trivandrum as the hub for travelling to Gulf. An Airport at Kanyakumari will considerably reduce the hardships being faced by NRI's travelling by road to Trivandrum airport.

It is difficult to make Kanyakumari International airport,........stright away..It will be very costly too
So they have to start first with domastic flight.

As for as everybodys concern it is mandotary for KK as KK is growing at all point of view in past 5 years, It will be very useful to all not only the home town people, There is possibility to inrease the tourist to KK rather than the current frequency of tourist comming from other countries..

[nanjil nadan]

it is must to coonect kanyakumari by air.If it connected it will be welfer for tourism,rubber industrys,windmill industries,and important is lot of peoples from kk dist are in abroads,this airport will be verymuch helfull to them to save them.

How long people of Kanyakumari have to wait?.Is the government doing something? Have they started to do something to sort out this issue? Are they waiting for elections? When will it happen? Will this be only a dream?

[manoharan]

I don't think it is a good idea. More agricultural lands will be gone. Any good project should benefit the people living in nagercoil rather than the convenient of those NRI's who want to save a 2 hours trip from the nearby Trivandrum airport.

[Prakhas Kumaar]

Very Good idea. Kanya kumari is the south most place of india. one of the tourist place and must need airport. so many peoples are in different foregin countries. They used ofenly.

Tamilnadu government is being ruled by fools. They want to spend 4000 crores for a second airport in Chennai. There are underutilized airport in Tuticorin and totally unused airport in Salem. Other places like Hosur, Kanniyakumari, Vellore, Thirunelveli need to have airports for good connectivity.

Kerala has beaten Tamilnadu in terms of aviation infrastructure. All the southern states have big plans for building new airport. Karnataka layed foundation stone last week in Shimoga for a new airport. They are planning 20 new airports. Andhra is planning 10 airports. Kerala is building 2 new international airports.

Tamilnadu is stuck in Chennai alone. Shame on TN government. This second airport in Chennai is a SCAM and should be opposed in instead airports should be built in south and west Tamilnadu where there is no airport for 200km.

Sorry to differ from you, the distance of 2 hours to Trivandrum is VERY large by Indian standards. Tamilnadu's biggest weekness is airconnectivity which Kerala does not have as there is airport every 150-200km. Second most people in Gulf are Tamils and they are paying Rs 3000 extra for flying from TN. Also largest workforce in Bangalore are Tamils. Presently travel to all the southern districts are dangerous and lot of hassles with having to change from train to bus. Airport is needed in southern districts. Also Salem and other airports need to be activated.

[Akhilesh]

Kanyakumari needs airport, because it is a good tourist place in India.Nearly 10 Lack peoples visit KK per year,including forigners.Airport is a boon to the peoples of KK,Thirunelvely districts.Make it possible soon.

[Ramesh AS]

a domestic airport at kanyakumari is always welcome.

Vellore has an airport as I know..HOSUR is very near to Banglore ,less than 50 kilometers..so I think it is not advisable

[NATARAJAN from NAGERCOIL]

BJP government connected KANYAKUMARI-KASHMIR by 4-lane during their regime.Will CONGRESS government connect this two historic & two end places of our country ?????? otherwise this credit will also go to BJP incoming elections....

[Mohan]

I can't wait to go to kumari amman temple and have a dip!
Please do it fast.

KanayaKumari is one of the most beautiful places in this whole world. Shame we don't have airport.

[monikanan]

tamilnadu government totally forgot kanyakumari district in the field of industry and infrastructure though have 100% education.so pepole have hope only on toruism , the govt should arrange air facility to connect rest of the world and india.from kanyakumari to chennai it will take so much time to reach for any assis, to make arrange airport facility otherwise hand over kanyakumari to kerala government bze trivanduram is very near by kanyakumari

[Jeya Seelan]

Kanya Kumari - Starting Point of India. Must be connected by Airport. Trivandrum Airport although near by but diiferent State. People from and People travel to Tirunrlveli & Kanyakumar have lot to suffer without near by Airport. Tamil Nadu Government must take a proper setps to held a butiful Airport in Kanya Kuamri.
