Big aircraft to land in Kozhikode soon

Kozhikode: The Calicut International Airport is gearing up to resume operation of wide-bodied aircraft, with the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) giving approval to Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) to operate Boeing 777-200 Extended Range and Airbus 330-300 under Code E.

“At any time, airline companies can begin operation of flights after getting the schedule. Saudia has already got approval from the DGCA after meeting the safety assessment and mitigation measures for the operation of wide-bodied aircraft,” airport director K. Srinivasa Rao told The Hindu on Monday.

Director of Operations (aero standards) D.C. Sharma had issued a No-Objection Certificate on August 8 to Saudia for the operation of two types of wide-bodied aircraft subject to compliance with the specified mitigation measures. The airline company is readying to operate flights possibly from next month, it is learnt.
