As there is no thread here to discuss the developments of other smaller airports in Tamilnadu, I am starting this thread to discuss on Tuticorin(TCR), Salem(SXV) and Vellore airports here..
It is an english saying, not a hindi one!!In Hindi there is a proverb. Those who are in Glass house, shouldnt throw stone at others.
People who talk about Gilli posting shouldnt forget what type of remarks made about madurai and madurai airport in some other threads. There was a posting (which got deleted) by one person in their thread saying "let the barkers bark". We dont need to be taught about decency and culture. Madurai is cultural capital of TN and & We have it in our blood for more than 5000 years
I think only chance is jet airways with their atr aircrafts. Other airlines doesn't have smaller aircraft to land in tcr airport.jyas said:Would like to see another carrier start its operation, rather than allowing SG to be a monopoly in this sector. A healthy competition is good for the public/passengers.
Why not? Tuticorin has customs department already and so they can try for Colombo and Far East. After all it was second capital of Pandya kings more than 1000 years ago. Around 25 years back, when Vayudoot was in service they used to operate madras-Tanjore-Madurai service. That time Tanjore runway was not in good condition. But today since IAF has a base at tanjore with a strenthened & extended runway, Civil enclave in Airbase or in Naval base is common, AAI should create a civil enclave and start operating passenger flights. Over a period of one or two years even they can start operating flights to Far East. After all, who can forget Raja Raja Chola & his son Rajendra Chola who had their capital at Tanjore, not in any other place in central TN and conquered Kadaram, other places which are present day Far East countries. We need to salute their wisdom of having capital in Tanjore and conquering Far East countries. The best tribute to them is not celebrating every year Raja Raja Chola birthday in Iypasi month on Sadaya day but developing Tanjore airport into a truly international airport and have service to Kadaram and other Far East countries.well getting into some serious discussions
Tuti friends can now approach Spice Jet ,,,Jet Airways to start services to colombo.........
it is the need of the hour ..............
it will immensely develop cargo transport and all Tuti has got a seaport is a very added advantage..................
all the best
Well said joe and the fortunes of the airport will be greatly improved if they improve runway and have night landing facilities.. So that we will have another flight to chennai which might be a good addition..joefernando said:Thanks for changing the thread name as TUTICORIN (TCR) AIRPORT
