Coimbatore New International Airport Terminal Inaugurated - Ready 2010

On Sunday September 12th 2010, New International Status Airport in Coimbatore was ready and inaugurated.

Central Home Minister P.Chidambaram, Central Airways Minister Praful Patel and Central Fertilizers Minister M.K.Azhagiri were present in the Coimbatore Airport and opened the airport for further functioning.

Total expenses of the new terminal of Coimbatore Airport is Rs.128 Crores. Today, around 5 flights can be ported in the airport, but with the new terminal around 7 flights can be hosted and ported.

500 passengers can be engaged in the Airport with the new terminal. It is around 17,500 sq.ft area land. 6 escalators and 6 lifts are there in the new terminal. 3 Aerobridges are built, using which passengers can go directly into the flight from the terminal.

It will take couple of months for International flights to function in the new airport terminal in Coimbatore Airport.

It is a great plus for Coimbatore, its business, transportation, travel business. This is a great step from the Government for Coimbatore and its improvement...

It has been all the time news and atlast time has come for the Coimbatore International Airport. Similarly, we think gradually all other important news would also come out like Coimbatore IT park, AIIMS like hospital etc., and much more than that.

Coimbatore Airport - Did you know?

Because of heavy traffic at the Coimbatore Airport, the Airport Authority of India has decided to hand over sixty acres of land to modernize. The AAI has decided to increase the length of the runway to 7,500 ft and install an Instrument Landing system(ILS) and Simple Approach Lightning System.

Naming Coimbatore Airport Issue

There is a proverb in Tamil - "Innum kalyaaname aagaliyaam, athukkulla pillaikku peru anantha narayana krishna murthy raajaa raamaa". (English Translation - The guy is not married yet, but he has named his child as anantha narayana krishna murthy raajaa raamaa).

Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy has threatened to launch an agitation if the Tamil Nadu Government further delayed its consent to name the city airport after freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.

Swamy has written letter to the government, but he has not received any response yet.

My question is - the international Coimbatore Airport is not ready yet, but issues of NAMING has raised!

God Bless Coimbatore!
