Industries Minister P.K. Kunhalikutty Launches Logo and Website of COKPIT 2027 Aviation GCC Summit

KOCHI: Keralam’s Minister for Industries, IT, AI, and Future Technologies, P.K. Kunhalikutty, today officially unveiled the logo and website of COKPIT 2027, a Global Aviation GCC Leadership Summit being organized by Infopark. The unveiling took place during a curtain-raiser ceremony held at Hotel Le Meridien, Kochi, in the presence of Infopark CEO Susanth Kurunthil. The strategic initiative aims to position Kochi as a preferred global hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) specializing in aviation technology, digital operations, and artificial intelligence.

Scheduled to take place on January 28 and 29, 2027, at the Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty, the invitation-only two-day summit will assemble global C-suite executives—including CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, and global delivery heads—from over 25 major airlines spanning the Gulf, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and India. Organized with full state government backing, the summit will focus on how GCCs can evolve into strategic revenue-generating tech hubs by deploying AI in flight operations, maintenance, personalized retailing, and connected cabins. The event leverages Kochi’s strategic strengths, including CIAL’s Aerocity project, MRO facilities, and the presence of industry leaders like Air India, IBS Software, and Verteil, supporting Keralam’s broader vision to attract 150 GCCs to the state by 2031.
