KANNUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND

The virgin, clean beaches at Kannur are a tourist's paradise. One could lose oneself riding into the sunset at Kerala’s only drive-in-beach in Muzhuppilangad. Apart from its idyllic beaches, Kannur is famous for its handloom industry and folk art and culture. The resonant past and plenty of myths and legends have earned Kannur, the capital of an ancient Kingdom, the name 'the crown of Kerala'.

Places of interest in Kannur range from forts, beaches, museums and much more. The enchanting sandy beaches lined with evergreen coconut palm groves at Payyambalam, Muzhuppilangad, Dharmadam, St. Angelo’s Fort, Thalassery Fort, and Bakel Fort as well as Snake Park at Parassinikadavu are a few of them.

The new Kannur International Airport will tap the vast tourism potential, aid the textile industry, and help ‘Non-Resident’ Indians, expatriates, business travellers, IT professionals and corporate magnates, and enhance the region’s position as an international tourist destination. About 13% of Kannur population has overseas employment. They and their relatives currently have to travel far to reach an airport.

The year to year variability of annual rainfall is around 20%. In general, the rainfall increases from the coast to the eastern hilly regions. Kannur district falls under wet type of climate based on Thornthwaite’s climatic classification.

The temperature is more during the months of March to May and is less during December 0 and January. The average mean monthly maximum temperature ranges from 28.4 to 36.9 C 0 and minimum temperature ranges from 19.7 to 23.9 C.

1.1.2 Archaeological Importance of Kannur

Burial sites of the Neolithic age have come to light in certain parts of Kannur district. The Thaliparamba-Kannur-Thalassery area abounds in rock-cut caves, dolmens, burial stone circles and menhirs, all of megalithic burial order.

It is assumed that the first batch of Aryan immigrants into the state entered through North Kerala (Malabar).

1.1.3 The Airport Project

KIAL (Authority) has decided to carry out the bidding process for selection of an entity as the bidder to whom part of the Project may be awarded. A brief description of the project may be seen in the Authority's website www.kannurairport.in Brief particulars of the Project are as follows:

An International Airport at Kannur with international standards of safety and comfort is the aim of the Government of Kerala (GoK) and the Authority has been incorporated as a public limited company by the GoK to develop the airport through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. The equity participation in the project: GoK 26%, PSUs23%, 2% by Government promoted agencies and balance through public participation by QIIs, Individuals, Companies, Co-operative Banks, Societies, and other legal entities. In-Principle approval has been received from Ministry of Civil Aviation, NOC received from Ministry of Defence and MHA, and site clearance received from Director General of Civil Aviation, India.

The State’s prestigious greenfield airport project named ‘KANNUR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT’ will be coming up close to Mattannur in Kannur district of Kerala State. It is only 25 kms away from Kannur town, at Mattannur, on Kannur – Mattannur – Mysore road.

1.1.4 Objectives of the Proposed Project

To provide an international gateway with state-of-the art facilities to support safe, efficient and cost effective travel for foreign tourists and ‘non-resident’ Indians from Kerala, as well as domestic passengers.

To act as air cargo hub for perishable cargo like cut-flowers, vegetables, fruits, seafood etc.

To provide a host of commercial, trade promotion and industrial activities that can generate employment opportunities, provide avenues for the trade in traditional products to affluent markets in the Gulf and Europe and to open new vistas in the field of IT & ICT.

To promote beach, pilgrimage and health tourism.

To transform the North Malabar region into a highly developed growth center for travel and tourism.

1.1.5 Highlights

The Airport will have a runway length suitable for operation of Code E aircraft and it will be extended further at later stage suitable for Code F aircraft operation. The orientation of the runway is 07/25, which permits obstacle free approach. The airport is expected to have an annual traffic of more than 1.5 million international passengers and above 0.15 million domestic passengers as per 2016-2017estimate. The airport is expected to be operational from December 2015 onwards.

1.1.6 Infrastructure

Creating outside support services/ infrastructure facilities is considered to be as important as the development of the airport building itself. The greatest emphasis is being laid on the access roads. The plan is to take up and complete the supporting infrastructure by the time the airport is built.

. Nearby Airports

The airport at Mangalore in Karnataka is about 175 kilometers and the one at Kozhikode is about 120 kilometers away from Kannur.

. Roads

The West Coast road, National Highway 17, is the backbone of the road system in North Malabar. Kannur - Mattannur - Iritty Road, Pappinisseri - Pilathara Road, Taliparambu - Sreekandapuram Road, Payyannur - Peringome (Kozhichal) Road, and the Thalassery - Mysore road are the other important roads. Government of Kerala has already decided to widen/develop the roads connecting the proposed airport. The following eight roads have been identified for this purpose:

1) Kannur-Mattannur; 2) Thalassery-Mattannur; 3) Payyannur-Mattannur; 4) Karnataka Border-Mattannur 5) Mattannur-Anjarakkandy-Thalassery 6) Wayanad-Mattannur 7) Mahe-Muzhuppilangad 8) Nadapuram-Thalassery

. Ports

Thalassery (Tellicherry), Kannur and Azhikkal are the minor ports in the district. Kannur is an ancient port. The nearest all-weather sea port is Mangalore in Karnataka State. The inland water transport system connecting Perumba and Taliparambu was constructed in 1766 by the Ali Raja of Kannur. This 3.8 km long canal is known as the Sultan's Canal. The west flowing rivers are used for navigation. The Kuppam river has 244 km of navigable length; Valappattanam, 55 km and Anjarakandi, 23 km.

. Rail

A rail line linking Kannur/ Thalassery, will facilitate multi-modal access to the airport. The State Government is pursuing discussions with the Ministry of Railways on a proposal for 'Kannur International Airport Railway Station'.

. Power

An increase in power supply in the area adjoining the airport has been taken up to cater to the power requirements of the airport.

. Water

Necessary steps have been taken by the concerned authorities to meet the demand of water requirements of the airport.

1.1.7 Tourism/Hotels

The tourism industry, especially health, pilgrimage and beach tourism, would be developed to attract more national and international tourists. The airport will be established quite close to Wayanad and Coorg which are suitable locations for adventure and wild life tourism. Even before the commencement of the construction of the airport several hotel chains have come up to explore the tourism potential of the region.

Pilgrimage tourism can be promoted in this area due to the presence of a large number of internationally famous shrines belonging to different religions.

1.1.8 Industries

Traditional industries like textile, handloom and modern sectors like IT will get a boost with the establishment of the airport. Similarly the airport will grow due to rapid industrialization from the flow of increased passengers. It is a win-win situation.

1.1.9 Project Structure

The airport will be built over 2000 acres of land and will have a single runway, to begin with.

The detailed project report envisages project cost to be approximately Rs.1500 Crores for the airport. When completed, Kannur airport would be the fourth international airport in the State after Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode.

1.1.10 Status of Land Acquisition

So far, 1278 acres of land has been taken over under the Fast Track Scheme and compensation paid to the land Owners. Land required for rehabilitation has also been taken over and plots given to the families concerned. In the second phase, 783 acres more has been notified and is expected to be taken over in 6 months.

Project Office at Mattannur was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Kerala on 6 December 2012.

1.1.11 Consultant for the project

The first DPR and runway design for the project was prepared by Cochin International Airport Limited. At a later stage, a consortium consisting of AECOM and CRISIL has been

appointed as Integrated Project Consultant for Kannur International Airport Project.
