In line with the State government’s initiative to boost air connectivity within the State and neighbouring Tier 2 cities, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) has announced the activation of four new routes in collaboration with Alliance Air. The services, expected to be operational by the end of January, will connect Kochi to Kannur, Mysuru, Tiruchirappalli, and Tirupati.
CIAL has allocated an overnight parking slot at its domestic apron for a new ATR flight, enabling late night and early morning services to and from Kochi.
The CIAL move will enhance regional connectivity and provide a boost to the travel and tourism sector. The newly proposed routes by Alliance Air include Kochi to Kannur, Kochi to Mysuru, Kochi to Tiruchirappalli with an extension to Chennai, and Kochi to Mysuru with a continuation to Tirupati, says a communication from the airport on Sunday.
