Jet Airways to stop Doha-Calicut service from March end

Doha: Jet Airways will be cancelling its direct flight from Doha to Calicut in the southern Indian state of Kerala by the end of next month. The decision was taken due to low passenger load to the sector, airline sources said yesterday. However, the airline will continue its connection flights to Calicut via Mumbai as well flights to other Indian destinations- Mumbai, Delhi and Kochi, Kerala. The last flight to Calicut would operate on March 28. Those who have bought tickets to travel after that date have been allowed to reroute their trip or accept a refund from the company, said an airline official.
“We are offering a full refund if the ticket is not used. The passengers can also re-route their journey in our Doha-Mumbai-Calicut flight or Doha-Kochi direct flight,” said the official. He said a number of people had bought tickets for the Doha-Calicut flight to travel during the forthcoming summer holidays. “ We have bookings up to August,” said the official.
Jet Airways is the sole Indian private airline operating flights to the Gulf sector. The company has also decided to stop some of its flights operating to other Gulf countries.
