That day, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) commissioned the operations of the Calicut International Airport after several years of public agitation. He said that the airport had emerged as the seventh top international airport in the country, having a real impact on the economic development of Malabar. Rising from its humble beginnings, with just four flights a week, 30 years ago, the airport now operates 60 international movements (arrivals and departures) and eight domestic flights daily.
