Hardeep Puri responded to fears expressed over Calicut Airport and the controversy over whether this airfield is suited for wide body operations. He on Saturday night recapitulated that the airport is safe and said that an inquiry into the accident has been ordered and also cautioned against coming to instant conclusions regarding the airport or this particular mishap.
“It is indeed a fact that several issues were routinely red flagged by DGCA, and were addressed by the airport operator. These pertain to excessive rubber deposits, water stagnation, cracks and other routine issues…. raising such concerns is the normal work of DGCA (which) also strictly ensures that these are complied with and rectified under all circumstances. This was done by the airport operator,” Puri said
We often find ourselves placed in circumstances, the response to which defines us.
