Will KIAL have affordable food items, Tea, Coffee at its counters?

Why Airport food is costly?

We all know that eating or drinking at airports in India are not at all affordable for a common man.

There are many reasons behind it,

• The cafeterias need to pay a huge fee as rentals, taxes.
• Also the vendors knows, we are stuck in a place where we dont have another option, so if price is hiked, people cant react.
• The vendors also understand that they dont have much competitors so no need of reducing the cost.
• In addition, procuring food and keeping inventory in a small allocated area in airport is also a costly affair for a vendor. 

How can we avoid such costs at airports?

• We can bring empty bottles and refill at airport drinking taps. Empty bottles are always allowed through security checks.
• You can bring food items packed. So we can avoid buying eatables at airports.

Will Kannur International Airport Limited have something changed in food pricing when it opens?

Reports came that AAI(Airport Authority of India ) is coming up with a restriction on price of tea, snacks and food items based on heavy requests from public, MP's. According to sources, the AAI had already directed airports to monitor vendors sell items on MRP in all airports across India.

The AAI pointed that as of now all government run airport will follow this rule, and private aiports will have to take their decision. Which means the KIAL director board will be able to decide on the price of food items at airport. This is a good reason for all Kannurians who travel and eat at airports.

What is Airport Calibration

Airport Calibration includes multiple calibration activities simultaneously, such as structure measurement for Glide Slope and Localiser together with Markers, VOR/DME and NDB or Non-Directional Beacon during one approach.

What is VOR/DME?
VOR/DME refers to combined radio navigation station for aircraft, which consists of two radio beacons, placed together, a VHF omni-directional range (VOR) and distance measuring equipment (DME). VOR produces an angle between the station and the receiver in the aircraft, while DME does the same for range.
