Govt working on airline plan for expats: official

Doha: A senior official of India’s civil aviation ministry has promised to look into the problems faced by airline passengers travelling to Malabar areas in Kerala state.
Civil aviation secretary M Madhavan Nambiar was speaking at an interactive session held at Doha Modern Indian School (DMIS) yesterday.
The session, organised by non-resident Indian businessmen C K Menon and M A Yusuffali of Abu Dhabi-based Emke group, was held in honour of the visiting high-level Indian delegation led by T K Ayyappan Kutty Nair, principal secretary to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Nambiar said after the merger of Indian Airlines and Air India to form a new company, a lot of new changes had to be effected and the decision to cancel the Indian Airlines flight from Doha to Kozhikode was taken as part of the changes. “However, the government is in the process of working out a permanent solution to the issues being faced by passengers, including expatriates,” he said.
