We know that Kannur Airport is getting functional on Dec 9th 2018. As we all aware the airport 
brings in huge potential for the development of surrounding area and thus people itself. Considering the development index , Kannur comes 4th in Kerala (Trivandrum, Cochin, Kozhikode), This was one of the reason for Kannur getting Corporation tag approval and became fourth corporation of Kerala
How Airport can bring in business?
Airports usually have a captive audience who have nothing else to do other than shop or using cell phones.This giving us a very large audience. Since an airport operates 24/7 + 360 days a year, we'll generate substantial income if we plan properly.
In this blog, we will think loudly and identify some of the business ideas for the people of Kannur by utilising the new Airport.
.
3) Home stays: This can be for both domestic and international travelers. People who come to visit Kannur are going to be exponentially increased day by day, which will need better & peaceful accommodation. Kannur is beautiful by nature, so if you have property in and around a scenic area like rice fields, hills, beaches then start a home stay or rent a part of your house and publish it in your own websites or apps like Airbnb.
4) Cab service: One of the important items for an airport. Every one who travel to Airport needs a vehicle. Previously we travelled to Calicut by booking a big vehicle accompanying all family members. Now Kannurians can just book a small cab and reach airport in less than an hour. So starting online cabs or rental cabs area good idea.
5) Security services: Airport and near by areas needs good security. Airport security is taken care by central forces. Still there are huge requirements of security staff around airports and this is going to be a good business, if we can source people easily.
6) Catering Services for airlines: This involves preparing packaged foods for the airlines (require security clearance). All airlines needs packed food for travelers who wish to have food in flights. And each flight prefer localised version of food(Indian traveler prefer Indian food and foreigners prefer their food). So if we have the knowledge about foreign food and tasty local food, it is going to be a good success. But ensure the quality always.
7) Online portals: Create online portals about the services in Airport. It can be websites, blogs, and travel assistance services etc.
8) Magazines for Kannur Airport related: Provide information about Kannur tourism and available things in Kannur through a rich appearing magazine.
9) Real Estate: As mentioned, Airport brings in huge potential, thus the real estate is going to grow gradually. So do a safe business with real estate as the option.
10) Money exchange: Travelers some times miss to convert currency to local money before arrival. They may need assistance here. So start a currency exchange shop in airport premises.
11) Internet/ printout shops: In current world, all have their own mobile with INTERNET. Still they may need INTERNET facilities, printouts, phone booths etc.
12) Airport luggage service: What if we start a luggage service and pick up and drop based on traveler requirements. Now a days people are reluctant to carry heavy items. Let us provide them an option of traveling empty handed to and fro to airport and we bring them the luggage carefully with complete responsibility.
13) Small shops rented inside airport: Say people will need items like TSA Lock(Travel security), USB, chargers etc during their travel. Identify each item and make them available in your shop.
14) Laundry and dry cleaning service: Some times people visit for few days to Kannur and they need laundry/ washing services. Put up a shop for the same. Even airlines staff may need those.
15) Pet care service: Now a days people travel with their pets; Travelers can drop their pets on the way out in our pert care and we take care of them until they are back.
16) Franchise: Hire a space at the airport itself and start a reputed franchise like duty free shops for liquors, clothing, shoes etc.
We will come up with more ideas soon, so please subscribe for the newsletter. Also as always, please write your recommendations in comment section too.

In this blog, we will think loudly and identify some of the business ideas for the people of Kannur by utilising the new Airport.
1) Hotel business: Last Airport board of directors meetings were
having one major demand. There are no much big hotels or accommodation
near by Kannur Airport. Also the existing hotels are either in Kannur city or
Thalasseri side. So hotel business around Mattannur could be one of the
best idea, if we can invest in it. All Air traveling companies/airlines need
better hotels for their staff.
2) Parking space or building : Think we have a big property in
Mattannur, assuming the property that you have is really close to the
airport where people can easily walk after parking their car on urgent
travel. The parking lot idea is great if you have access to the land
around the airport. If your parking is bit far from the airport, you
can have parking and a shuttle taking customers to the terminal. This is
a successful business in many airports. Since Kannur Airport is mainly
concentrating on travelers to middle east countries, this business may
take some time to get you rich.
