Emirates airline is exploring the possibility of starting its own direct flights to Kozhikode Calicut International airport in Kerala.
Senior officials from Emirates will inspect the airport in the coming weeks, according to an executive from Kozhikode Calicut International.
“A high level team from Emirates airline will be visiting Calicut airport in the first week of March for an inspection and discussions on commencing its operations to and from Calicut airport,” K Srinivasa Rao, Airport Director, Kozhikode Calicut International Airport, told Arabian Business.
While Emirates is yet to finalise a start date for operations, aviation industry sources said the Dubai carrier is likely to include the flight to Calicut in its summer schedule, beginning from end of March.
Srinivasa Rao said the date of start of Emirates’ operations to Calicut will depend on the Gulf carrier receiving the no-objection certificate from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
An Emirates spokesperson said the airline continually reviews possible market opportunities, both in India and globally, but would not comment future plans.
“Official announcement, if any, will be made at an appropriate time,” the Emirates spokesperson said, when asked about the airline’s plans for Calicut airport.
