It’s a decade-old dream of the public that has been rekindled following a visit of an expert team to construct an airstrip in the district.
The idea to build an airstrip in the district to tap its tourist potential had been first mooted by the district administration around a decade ago.
A team of officials led by Transport Secretary Biju Prabhakar visited the Elston tea estate here to set up the proposed airstrip in the district, on Wednesday. The team comprising Kannur International Airport Managing Director Dinesh Kumar and airport technical expert Mohan Chandran visited the site to identify whether it was suitable for the purpose or not.
