Air India Express (AIE) plans to operate flights to the capitals of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries and to new destinations in the Gulf. Besides India, the other SAARC nations are: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
At present, the low-cost carrier operates flights to all the cities in the Gulf, except Saudi Arabia. Its services have come as a big relief to non-resident Keralites in these countries.
In view of the new services, the airline has started recruiting more cockpit crew members. “The focus is on the operational bases of the AIE in the State — Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode — and in adjoining Mangalore. The recruitment will also be for taking care of the future needs of the airline in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, and the augmentation of the fleet,” an airline spokesman told The Hindu.
