As I understand ,it is a private airport project. Why the hell then someone should be worried about the profit. Kochi airport was not in profit when it started.
Secondly,the LDF govnmt gave clearance for it. When the current Gvnmt trie to pursue it , all hell breaks loose.
Thirdly, it is in an area where large number of NRI's are from; and a large number of tourist destinations are located. Kerala's economy is mostly run by NRI funds and tourist income.
So, Why not give them a convenient facility at their cost.More over, think of the road traffic, time ,money and pollution that is reduced ( presently they have to ply from TVM or Kochi ).
It seems it is a fashion to talk about environment and criticize any project, without studying properly the overall benefit of the project.Ultimately the project will come if there is real need; But only after a number of politician pockets are filled ,years of delay and heavy cost overruns. This is the fate of Kerala today.
Warm regards,

Unplanned projects without taking into consideration the minds and consensus of the local people is utter waste...It will only lead to land mafia and politicians making money and scams....We have many such small airports in the nation which are not economically viable. People should protest against such projects...

We don't need anymore airports in Kerala. Three International Airports is more enough in a small state like KERALA. Airports are not like KSRTC Bus Stand to be built in each and every District and it is not a common transport media. Why dont all keralites and government could re-think to invest that money to make that area (same land proposed for airport) for a good Agricultural FARM that could atleast avoid relying on other states for vegetables.Please please please stop building concrete structures and airports...we need our kerala to be back as gods own country with good climate, nature and foodOn Wed, May 1, 2013 at 7:39 PM, Vinayachandran S <vinchand59@gmail.com> wrote:Let us all stop spreading blatant lies.Pl understand that this unwanted luxury of an airport at Aranmula is not at all aimed at development as wrongly made out to be.Kerala doesn't require any more airports.Pathanamthitta needs development ; but not only through an unwanted airport; but people should find employemnt and evelopmen thro active agricuture in the green fields available there.If at all airport is something very essential for the returns once in a while, it may be relocated at Kottayam, Idukki areas where less cultivation of useful edible crops are done unlike Aranmula in Pathanamthitta.Pathanamthitta should look for development thro other means and not by the destruction of whatever greenery and cultivable land is remaining.We all know how strong the lobby for the desturction is and how well they keep on spreading lies in justifying this wasteful expenditure.With due respect to this powerful lobby, we plead, please stop spreading wrng justifications for this colossal waste of airport at Aranmula.

Dear All,An airport at Aranmula will not cause national catastropy or damage to the local as people predict. In fact it will creat a large number employment scopes as well as developments in the district. Which of the Kerala airports are construction on desert? A large percentage of expatriates are from this district and nearby districts. All the factories, IT parks or any other facilities have used or constructed on lands which were previously used for cultivations. The people who don't like Pathanamthitta district development or they may the value or importants of other place may deminish are obstructing this project.Daniel K.
