[edit] Questions

Points regarding "4th busiest airport" and "ready for A380s" may have to be double checked for veracity. Also, is this a public airport or a private-public one? ````PST

The official webite of the airport [1] confirms that it has already handled "Airbus 380 super jumbo, Boeing 747 Jumbo , Airbus 300, 310, 320, Boeing 737 - 400, B777, A-330, A-340 etc. ". And this Kerala Government site [2] (scroll down) says that it is the fourth busiest airport after Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.
The airport is managed through a public-private tie up, and is open to the general public. -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}10:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response

How to distinguish between promoter hype and the factual position, Bangalore HAL also claims to be "4th busiest"! Which is it really? Moreover, it seems highly unlkely that CIAL has "already handled A380".220.224.8.11 01:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)PST.

New statistics are released every month [3], it seems that the positions must be fluctuating. Could you be more specific as to why CIAL couldn't have handled the A380 already? Perhaps the website means "Flights it can handle" ? -- thunderboltz^{a.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK}02:11, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Please note that the external link A-Z World Airports says biggest aircraft CIAL can handle are only B747 and ILS. Besides A380s are still only in prototype form, not commercal service. Btw, which civilian carriers, if any, operate ILS at CIAL?

[edit] Suggestion

This article has a useful external link titled A-ZWorld Airport which opens on a googlearth picture of CIAL airport. The site also contains a link to Dabolim airport and (perhaps some others listed in wikipedia). This is to request the person(s) who provided the link to CIAL to provide a similar link to Dabolim airport as an external link. Thanks.

[edit] Photographs copyright?

Photographs are not allowed in Indian airports, Sangfroid could not have taken those photos himself, even if he did he's probably not the original owner of the photographs...

Clarifications? arnie 14:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I reckon they are allowed, what's the harm in taking photos ina public building? But does Kochi airport have 4 terminals? 220.227.156.156 11:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
