Kozhikode, Oct 30: Air India's maiden Haj flight carrying 419 devotees today took off from Calicut International Airport at Karippur, near here, for the holy city of Medina today.
The Boeing 747 flight with 171 male and 248 female pilgrims on board from Kerala and Mahe, part of Union Territory of Puducherry, was flagged off by Kerala Haj and Local Self Governance Minister Paloli Mohammed Kutty.
