Centre recently gave favourable response to request of State Government
The Ministry of Civil Aviation will give approval for the operation of wide-bodied aircraft at Calicut International Airport only after a high-level committee constituted for the purpose submits its report.
Sources said the high-level committee would look into the possibility of resumption of operating big aircraft after studying all aspects, including safety measures adopted at the airport.
The operation of wide-bodied aircraft was suspended after the Air India Express that was part of the Vande Bharat Mission overran the tabletop runway last year. The Boeing 737-800 flight involved in the crash on August 7, 2020 claimed the lives of 21 persons, including the pilot and co-pilot, and left at least 100 passengers injured and many in critical condition.
