After so many false starts, it looks like the new terminal in Trichy Airport will finally open for public. The date is set at Feb 21st. This is a 11,700 Sq.Ft facility ( 7000sq.ft ground floor and 4700 Sq.ft first floor) with 3 moving platforms / Escalators and 5 Lifts for passenger comforts. It will have 13 Inspection and 16 immigration portals with 300 car parking lot outside. The terminal is 99% ready. So the plan is to open the terminal now ( there is an election coming, you see) and complete the other remaining work later.
Hopefully, this time it will happen. But Let’s wait and see.

The politics in India is really undermining everything…Here in Malaysia, we are fighting hard with the Government wanting free speech, eradicating corruption etc., But our only fear is that when we get to change the Government one day, the Opposition, when it comes to Power, would not behave the same way as the current ruling party. If otherwise, Malaysia would end up as another India (as far as dirty politics are concerned)

Malaysian carrier to expand India operations
PTIThursday, April 2, 2009 18:00 IST Email
New Delhi: Malaysian low-cost carrier Air Asia would start expanding its footprint in India by the end of this year, doubling its daily flights between Tiruchi and Kuala Lumpur from October.
As part of its “Look at India” plan, Air Asia’s second daily flight from Trichy would come in the wake of the high load factors it has been receiving on sector where it has been operating daily flights since December 2008 with an Airbus A-320.
“There is a great connection between South India and Malaysia due to the huge Indian population, many of whom are descendants of those who migrated from south India. Apart from renewing their family ties, there is a huge chunk of travellers who visit India for pilgrimage and leisure tourism,” the airline’s network management officer Subashini
Silvadas said.
Elaborating the expansion plans, she said the airline’s subsidiary, legacy carrier Air Asia X, planned to operate flights to Delhi and Mumbai, as also to Chennai “by the end of
this year or early next year”.
