Enabling the world’s first fully solar-powered airport

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jacobs (NYSE: J) has been appointed by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) to develop a comprehensive 25-year master plan for Cochin International Airport in Kochi, Kerala, India. The plan will guide the long-term development of the world’s first fully solar-powered airport, enhancing capacity, operational performance and sustainability, while reinforcing its role as a key gateway for tourism and economic activity across the region.

Jacobs Executive Vice President Sinead Giblin said: “Strategic aviation infrastructure is essential to supporting regional connectivity, economic growth and sustainable development. This master plan will prepare Cochin International Airport for future passenger and cargo demand while building on its leadership in sustainable airport operations. By combining global aviation capabilities and multidisciplinary advisory services, we will establish a resilient framework that delivers lasting value for travelers, businesses and communities across the region.”

Beyond infrastructure planning, Jacobs will develop an environmental and social impact assessment framework to guide future airport development, enabling CIAL to balance day-to-day airport operations with sustainability and community priorities as the airport evolves.
