Flights land at Kozhikode airport

Kozhikode: The international airport at nearby Karipur, which had been temporarily shutdown after violence erupted last night following the death of a CISF jawan, began operations this morning with arrival of two flights.

"Operations have become normal", Airport Director Janardhanan, told PTI.

Two Air India Express flights have landed and one flight diverted to Bangalore will be landing shortly, he said.

 After personnel of the CISF and Air Airports Authority of India (AAI) clashed with Fire Force department at the airport last night over frisking of an AAI official, a tense situation had prevailed.

 Following this, at least three flights had been diverted to Kochi's Nedumbassery airport.
