Praful Patel asks national carriers to wake up

Thiruvananthapuram: Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel Wednesday asked the management and employees of the national air carriers to wake up and put their act together soon.
Patel accompanied Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the foundation stone laying for a new international terminal here. A hangar unit of Air India is also being set up near the Thiruvananthapuram airport. Patel had switched airlines from Air India to Jet Airways last week for flying from London's Heathrow airport to Mumbai as the national carrier's flight was delayed because the crew turned up an hour late.
Patel also thanked the efforts of the prime minister for going ahead with the purchase of 18 new aircraft for the national carriers.
I am also happy to say that the Thiruvananthapuram airport would now act as the base airport for (Boeing) 737 aircraft,' said Patel.
He added that efforts were under way to build a new airport at Kannur in north Kerala.
