Union Minister Suresh Prabhu and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inaugurated the international airport in Kerala's Kannur today. The first flight from the airport, an Air India Express flight with 180 passengers to Abu Dhabi, was flagged off by the chief guests.

Kannur International Airport Ltd on Monday said it was KIAL and not the state government which granted landing permission to the chartered aircraft carrying BJP President Amit Shah on October 27, ahead of its formal inauguration on December 9.

The "congratulations" Amit Shah tossed to airport employees after landing at Kerala's Kannur airport and his later challenge to the Left government, has irked state minister Thomas Isaac. Mr Shah, the minister indicated, was abusing the state's hospitality.
