Uncertainty has prevailed over the resumption of the operation of wide-bodied aircraft which were suspended after the Air India Express crash last August at the Calicut International Airport. Confusion reigned following a letter by Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan last week asking the State government to hand over 152.5 acres of land to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the expansion of the airport. According to the letter, 137 acres would be used for the development of aprons, construction of a new terminal building and cargo complex and the remaining 15.25 acres would be used for car parking.
