Overseas body seeks Kerala CM intervention for “Point of Call” status for Kannur Airport

Indian Overseas Congress - Middle East has submitted a memorandum to Kerala Chief Minister Shri V.D. Satheesan highlighting several key issues concerning the global Malayali community and  with suggestions related to Kerala’s future development.  

Mansoor Palloor,  Middle East Convenor of Indian Overseas Congress, foreign affairs observer, and writer, met the Chief Minister in this regard and brought to his attention the pressing demands of expatriate Keralites in the Gulf region. 

In the memorandum, Mansoor Palloor conveyed his congratulations to the Chief Minister and the newly formed Council of Ministers. He also expressed hope that the new government would lead Kerala towards inclusive development, transparency, and progressive governance.

One of the major issues highlighted in the memorandum was the need to remove operational restrictions affecting Kannur International Airport. Despite being one of India’s most modern airports and serving lakhs of expatriates from North Kerala, foreign airlines continue to face operational limitations due to the absence of “Point of Call” status from the DGCA. The memorandum urged the state government to intervene with the Central Government to facilitate more international services, especially to GCC countries, and to allow greater access for foreign airlines.
