Çelebi Airport Services is soon to begin operations at Kannur International Airport Limited (KIAL), which is preparing to launch commercial flights this year.

This will be Çelebi’s sixth airport in India after Kempegowda International airport in Bangalore, where the company won the handling licence in June 2018. The partnership with KIAL is the company’s second win in the state after Cochin International airport and the total investment made by Çelebi under this partnership will be over US$4m.
KIAL will be the fourth international airport in Kerala and the government is taking various measures to ensure the airport becomes operational this year, which it hopes will become a major hub.
