SilkAir, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is planning to operate from the Coimbatore airport, considering the huge outflow of passengers from this region to nations like China and Singapore for textile-related business activities.
Passenger traffic to Southeast Asian countries has gained momentum apart from Indian tourists from importers of textile machinery and placing orders for spindles.
On a feasibility study by SilkAir, a few months ago on operating its flights out of Coimbatore airport, positive results ensued in planning to start operations by 2008.
