Kannur: Amidst complaints from passengers about national-carrier Air India's services at Kozhikode, the Centre was taking steps to invite other international airlines to operate from the airport, Union Minister of State for External Affairs, E Ahmed, said Sunday.
"I am given to understand that the Civil Aviation ministry, considering the people's anguish over unsatisfactory performance of Air India flights, unfortunate delay and change of schedule, which may sometimes become inevitable, will take steps in the first week of next month and hold consultations with other international airlines," he told PTI.
"It might take one or two months for allowing more flights from Kozhikode after completion of formal talks with other international airline operators," he said.
