None other than V. Thulasidas, Managing Director of Kannur International Airport Limited has agreed to be the guest of honor on 19 September 2019 and flag off the inaugural flight. With Kuwait becoming GoAir’s 4 th destination in the Gulf region, close on the heels of launching Muscat, Abu Dhabi, followed by Dubai and now the princely state of Kuwait, reveals GoAir’s robust plans to expand its operations across the Middle East region. In doing so, Kannur has emerged as a strategic hub for GoAir’s domestic as well as international operations.
