Malabar’s AAI Karipur Gulf gateway — real international volume (~0.94M of 3.86M FY25–26 passengers), an Air India Express operating base, Bird Lounge on Priority Pass for international airside, and a prepaid-taxi hop into Kozhikode, traded against a tabletop runway, RESA works, and no domestic PP soft room.
AAI-run Peelamedu gateway — one compact integrated terminal, DigiYatra on domestic flows since Aug 2024, a short road hop into Kongu Nadu’s textile city, and a Priority Pass restaurant pin (BlackBerry 10:00–21:30) instead of a soft-lounge bench — still a single 2,990 m strip where monsoon banks and SHA works punish thin plans.
