History
In 2016, the Government of Kerala has appointed Cochin International Airport Limited to undertake the Bekal Airstrip project.[1]
Under the UDAN 4 scheme, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (India) gave preliminary approval to the Bekal Airstrip project in 2019.[2] The airport would spread across 80 acres of land at Kanniyamkundu, 7 km from Periya.[3]
The Airports Authority of India will develop the infrastructure and operate the airport.[3]
