The adani Group has taken over the operation, management, maintenance, and expansion of Kerala's capital's international airport, thiruvananthapuram international Airport. The Union cabinet decided in august of last year to privatise airport maintenance in six key cities across India: Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Mangalore, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. As a result, it has been decided to lease the upkeep of thiruvananthapuram airport to adani Group on a public-private partnership basis for a duration of 50 years.
The kerala government, led by the Communist party of kerala, has petitioned the supreme court to stop the adani Group from maintaining the thiruvananthapuram airport. The airport was requested to be leased by the kerala State Industrial Development Corporation, a kerala government entity. However, Kerala's ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) has accused the central government of rejecting a state-owned company's leasing application and instead awarded it to the adani Group, stating that the adani Group's proposal was less than the necessary amount.
The adani Group has formally taken over management of the thiruvananthapuram airport in this situation. adani Group commented on social media, "We are happy to serve you." We extend a warm welcome to visitors to God's own country. trivandrum airport, we believe, is the gateway to good things for those of you who arrive with life-affirming pleasurable travel experiences. With lush foliage, stunning beaches, and high-quality eateries, we welcome visitors to God's own nation.
