Kannur: Food and beverage stalls inside the passenger terminal building at Kannur International Airport will be ready in week’s time, informed the airport authorities. Three stalls are being set up inside the terminal while two have already started functioning at the departure area outside the terminal.
''Three stalls inside the terminal which are under installation are expected to start functioning soon, hopefully in a week's time,'' said K.S.Shibukumar, Chief Project Engineer, Kannur Internatio-nal Airport.
Addressing media at the pre-inauguration press conference, Kannur Inte-rnational Airport MD V.Thulasidas had said that F and B stalls, and the duty-free shop would not be functioning in the initial days after the inauguration of the airport.
