Challenges

Kannur Airpot has strong potential, but growth is constrained by three main issues:

Increase regular cargo volumes to generate sustainable non-aeronautical and aeronautical revenue for Kannur International Airport

Passenger movement: diaspora travel, tourism, and medical travel
Belly-hold cargo: leverages passenger flights to support both passenger and cargo growth
Key export commodities: vegetables, fish/seafood, spices and extracts, and pharmaceuticals
Key imports: high-value, premium products from Europe
Retail opportunity: dedicated British counter in Duty Free and Duty Paid outlets
Airline Acedemy | Bonded Repair & Re-Export Services
