Kozhikode airport partial closure unlikely to affect Oman flights

Muscat: The partial closure of  the Kozhikode airport for around eight hours daily from May 1 as part of resurfacing work is unlikely to affect flights from and to Muscat and Salalah though there could be some rescheduling of flight times.

Airport director Peter K Abharam said in Kozhikode on Sunday that the runway would be closed for repair works from noon to 8pm. This was around the time there was lesser movement of international aircraft. He clarified that no wide-bodied or jumbo aircraft would be allowed to land in the airport till the whole work was completed.

Air India Express and Oman Air are the only two airliners operating to Kozhikode from Oman and they operate narrow-bodied aircraft which are allowed to land at the airport.
