More A-I Express flights to Kochi, Kozhikode

Doha: Air-India Express is increasing its number of flights to India with effect from February 19, officials announced yesterday. The added frequencies will continue into the summer schedule.
According to Mehjabeen Mukhtiar, Air-India Manager (Qatar), the budget carrier will now operate daily flights to Kochi in the southern Indian state of Kerala.
There will be six flights a week to Kozhikode, one flight weekly to Thiruvananthapuram and three flights to Mumbai and Mangalore.
All sectors will be operated using Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which can seat 180 passengers.
Mukhtiar said the airline has decided to increase the number of flights because of high passenger load factors (PLF) which averaged 80 percent between April and December last year.
