Cochin port faced a slight downward slope as the recession worked its
magic on the port company and everyone else. But one company who is
not complaining is the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL).
Cial has recorded a total of  Rs. 60.32 crores this year (2008-2009)
from its Rs. 47.12 (post tax) profit in the year 2007-2008 and that
too in a rocky recession hit climate. Cochin airport is the first
airport that was incorporated at a public limited company with only
13% Central Government stake. They have also announced a budget of Rs.
207 crores. With every other major company in the red CIAL is
definitely enjoying its place in the green upward arrow! For them the profits are “Taking Off..”.
