The document discusses plans for developing Kannur International Airport in Kerala, India. Phase 1 of the airport's development from 2015-2025 has a total projected cost of $300 million. It will have a 3,050 meter runway capable of handling large aircraft. The airport is expected to handle over 1 million international passengers and over 400,000 domestic passengers by 2025-2026, growing significantly by 2045-2046.

2. With 16% CAGR, India ATI set to be among top 3 civil aviation markets
globally, therefore making it a highly attractive market
Second Fastest growing, 4th largest economy in world
International traffic will exceed 80m PAX p.a.; Domestic to reach 160m-
180m PAX p.a.
Traffic to likely to grow 1.5-2 times GDP growth as it has during the last
few years
Tremendous growth potential with only less than 2% Indians travel by air
per year i.e. 0.04 trips per capita as compared to 0.15 of China and 2.2 of
US
Innovation potential is complemented by the following:
Availability of large pool of skilled resources
India as powerhouse of IT and Outsourcing
India has a tremendous potential

3. Metro Airports
Delhi & Mumbai, the two major International Airports restructured through JV
route (2006)
Operation, Management and Transfer (OMT) 6 Airports through PPP.
Greenfield Airports
New Greenfield Airports at Kochi , Hyderabad and Bangalore
Non Metro Airports/ Regional airports
State owned AAI completed modernization of select non-metro Airports.
City side development of non-metro Airports through PPP.
4. Important for regional connectivity and development of
regional hubs.
Places of major tourist attraction covered.
Business hubs covered.
Project span – next 2 years. Work on many of these has
begun.
Investment required - US $ 1.3 billion.
City side development (land use plans), through PPP mode
5. There is a huge growth opportunity in smaller towns due to increase in
middle class group.
With increase in per capita GDP, there is appetite to move to air travel at
regional level
With increase in costs, airlines will see regional airports as their HUB
Airports like Kannur where in there is huge opportunity for international
traffic to middle east as approx 20% of the population is employed in middle
east
Surge in international and domestic tourism will further boost regional
airports.
Enhancement of Non Aero Revenues.
6. Airports have started competing with each other with more
Private players getting in to the Airport Business.
Limited traffic at these airports in short run.
High costs of obtaining services for reserved activities such as
ATC, Security, etc.
Limited revenue generation opportunities in the short to
medium term.
Competition from from competing modes of transport-rail
and road.
No assurances from airlines in short run.
7. Business Model
PPP basis and on a build-own-operate (BOO) model.
KIAL is a Public Limited Company set up by the Government

20. STRENGTH
• GoK and State run PSU has a stake of
51%.
• Land Acquisition completed
• Suitable for all types of Aircrafts
operating in this sector
• Strong catchment area with maximum
NRK population
• ICAO/ CAR Complaint Airport planned.
WEAKNESS
• Equity for Phase 1 is yet to be tied up.
• EPC contracts are yet to be awarded.
• Access road to Airport yet to be
developed by State Authorities.
• In the initial years cash flow are not
adequate to meet Debt servicing
requirements.
OPPORTUNITIES
• Traffic study shows very good traffic
potential
• GoK PSU are planning to develop
Business hubs in the District.
• A sizable land available for exploiting
non Aero Revenue.
THREATS
• Construction and Expansion of similar
Airports in nearby location may divert
traffic
• International Traffic is totally dependent
on NoRK from Middle East any adverse
impact on the opportunities of Keralites
will have serious impact on Business
plan.
Editor's Notes
Strong GDP growth, a young population and the expansion of India’s vibrant middle class have catapulted India’s economy (which is already 4th largest today and expected to be 3rd largest by 2050) as the fastest growing economy in the world. This will obviously result in India achieving some of the fastest growth of any aviation market in the world over the next 20 years.
