It was to synergize the glory of Kannur’s heritage with that of a world class, most modern airport. Seven years hence it is a proud moment for us as Kannur International Airport launches.”

It will open up a huge corridor in the North Malabar region and take Kerala to never before heights. We also wanted to spread some positivity among the people after the deluge of 2018.”

“The aim of the campaign was to get an organic reach and create anticipation in the minds of the people for the opening of Kerala’s fourth international airport. It has achieved this and more, with the films going viral and being talked about in India and abroad. Potential passengers are now aware of the opening of a state-of-the-art airport in Kannur, and also its proximity to places in Karnataka such as Kodagu and Mysuru. People don’t see it as just another modern airport, but as the perfect gateway to North Kerala and South Karnataka,” concluded Menon.
