TIDCO re-tenders to identify a concessionaire for Kovilpatti FTO · thehindubusinessline.com

TIDCO, a state-owned company in Tamil Nadu, is looking for a company to use an old airstrip in Kovilpatti for teaching people how to fly planes.

They had to redo their request because of some technical problems.

The airstrip is quite big and is not being used right now.

It was built by a company called Lakshmi Mills for their private plane.

There is another place in Salem that was recently approved for the same kind of training.
