Thiruvananthapuram ∙ There is another reason behind LDF convener E. P. Jayarajan’s change of stance that if IndiGo is ready to correct its mistake, he will consider continuing his journey on their flight: if IndiGo is boycotted, for the time being, E. P. Jayarajan, if he wants to travel by air from Kannur within the state, can only reach Kozhikode by Air India. If you want to fly from Kannur to Kochi or Thiruvananthapuram, there is only IndiGo flight.
There are very few flights from Kerala to out of the state where there is very little air travel within the state. The Indigo service from Kannur airport is the only resort for politicians from North Malabar and those who need to go urgently to hospitals in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. Kannur – Thiruvananthapuram Indigo is the longest distance flight within the state. Kannur has one of the shortest flights in the world.
Kannur – Kozhikode – Delhi Air India service will reach Kozhikode from Kannur in 10 minutes. You cannot fly directly to Kozhikode airport from any airport except Kannur. Although Air India Express operates a service from Thiruvananthapuram to Doha via Kozhikode, ticketing for Kozhikode is now not available on this flight. The plane stops there only to pick up passengers from Kozhikode.
