Accusing Air India operating international flights from Karipur Airport in Kozhikode, of flying 'outdated' aircraft, the Kerala Pravasi Association demanded a detailed probe into the matter.
"Aircraft as old as 30 years, condemned in other places, are being used by Air India here, which should be stopped as it poses a danger to the passengers', association office bearers told a press conference in Kozhikode.
Claiming that Karipur airport had been recording very high revenue ever since it attained international status recently, they said the services provided to passengers were extremely poor, as many Air India Express flights were frequently cancelled or postponed, citing 'technical snags'.
