Calicut International Airport (IATA: CCJ,ICAO: VOCL), also known as Karipur Airport, is located at Karipur in the Malappuram district, near Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala, India.
The airport is located 26km (16mi) from the Calicut Railway Station and 27km (17mi) from the town of Manjeri, with the closest railway station being at Feroke. It is the 12th busiest airport in India in terms of passenger traffic and 11th in cargo handling.[1]
Calicut Airport is one of the three international airports located in Kerala. Calicut airport was given the status of international airport on February 2, 2006, thereby paving the way for the improvement of the infrastructure there for handling international flights.[2][3]
The airport was sanctioned after a long period of struggle which began in 1977 under the leadership of freedom fighter K. P. Kesava Menon. Funds were collected from Gulf Malayalis for its development in the 1990s when the Union Government said it did not have funds. To raise the funds needed for airport development, the Malabar International Airport Development Society was formed. Later major developments of facilities, such as extension of runway from 6,000ft (1,800m) to 9,000ft (2,700m) to facilitate operation of wide-body aircraft were carried out with loans from the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO). A user fee was also introduced to pay back the loans.
Since then, facilities at the airport have been greatly increased by the Airports Authority of India. There has also been a steady increase in the volume of passenger traffic from the airport.

Recent renovation, upgrades and expansion
Due to the recent billion-rupee upgrade of existing facilities, the infrastructure at Kozhikode International Airport has received foreign airlines.
An inline baggage system, the first of its kind in India that will do away with the separate X-raying of baggage, is being installed.[4] Several airlines have sought night parking facility at the airport, which has presently 10 parking bays. Permitting night parking at the airport will greatly improve air connectivity. Airports Authority of India (AAI) will provide three aerobridges (plus options for two more) at the airport which will help passengers directly enter the terminal while alighting from an aircraft. A 15,000m2 (160,000sqft) international arrival terminal has been opened to passengers, similar to the spacious modern international departure terminal that became operational on May 14, 2007. Three user-friendly conveyor belts are installed at the arrival terminal and 800 stainless steel chairs for passengers in the security-hold area. Escalators and elevators are also installed inside and outside the terminal building. Facilities for the passengers and visitors like fast-food counters, luggage room, jewellery shop, handicraft stall, traffic direction poles, restaurant, and cyber caf are also opened at the airport.
The plush and practical interiors and convenient facilities, including leather sleeperettes for transit passengers, has definitely brought the airport to international standards; a great improvement from the stuffy and cramped area it once was.[5]
Domestic carrier Jet Airways has being granted permission to operate some international routes, Doha and Muscat. The airline has started its operation from Calicut International Airport from 23 January 2008. It is expected that Deccan will soon follow the path of Jet Airways in August 2008 when it will have completed five years of flying experience to be eligible for international routes.

The approach funnel area of the runway 28 is a 30m (98ft) to 70m (230ft) deep undulated valley up to a distance of 6,000m (20,000ft), immediately following the tabletop runway of 2,860m (9,400ft) long. This terrain needs a special type of Approach guidance lighting system to enhance safety for aircraft operations both during night and poor visibility conditions. Airports Authority of India have provided runway lead-in lighting system for...(and so on)
