"CIAL is happy that Kochi Airport has been chosen for the first phase of Akasa's service in India. The efforts taken by the Honorable Chairman and board of the directors to bring in more airlines have started producing results. Many airlines have already chosen Kochi for starting their international services. CIAL hopes that Kochi airport can facilitate more services to all major cities in India in the upcoming winter schedule and we have mooted plans for that," said S Suhas IAS, Managing Director of Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).

As the summer schedule came into effect in April, CIAL has been handling 1190 aircraft movements per week. The airport operator hopes that the traffic will grow at par with the pre-pandemic level by the end of the current year.
