Kerala advocates for 'point of call' status for Kannur Airport, enabling foreign airlines to operate there, while seeking UDAN scheme inclusion for enhanced regional air travel.
The Kerala government is advocating for Kannur Airport to receive 'point of call' status, which would allow foreign airlines to operate there.
