CM’s support sought for Thiruvambady airport

The Malabar Development Council has urged Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to back the proposed Malabar international airport at Thiruvambady in Kozhikode district, which it says will neither cause any financial burden on the government nor harm the prospects of the Calicut and Kannur airports.

C.E. Chakkunny, president of the MDC, who is also the chief coordinator of the proposed greenfield airport, in a memorandum, pointed out that the State government’s support was crucial in turning the Thiruvambady airport into a reality.

Mr. Chakkunny told The Hindu that the MDC had in November applied to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the Civil Aviation Ministry for sanction to build the airport at Thiruvambady. The AAI had asked it to route the application through the State government. The MDC had forwarded the 17-page application format to the government.
