Cochin International Airport, known as CIAL, was once the third-largest airport in India in terms of passenger traffic. However, its ranking and performance have declined sharply in recent years. As India’s first airport developed under a public-private partnership, it is now facing significant challenges. The majority stakeholders, including the state government, have been appointing IAS and IPS officers as heads, similar to political appointees, which has impacted the airport’s future prospects and contributed to its decline.
