Flight cancellations ground holiday plans of many

Muscat: Passengers slated to travel from Muscat to Kerala and Punjab by Air India Express have been in a spot for the last one week as the airline has cancelled some flights citing operational reasons.
The low-cost airline has cancelled as many as six flights operating between Oman and India from August 20 to 26. As the six flights are operating to and fro, a total of 12 flights have been affected.
“As Air India Express is a low cost airline, a majority of the travellers are blue-collar workers and the flight cancellations have come as a burden to them. They now have to find tickets in some other airlines, for which they have to pay a hefty amount,” a travel agent, who is facing the ire of the travellers, told Times of Oman.
Meanwhile, the Air India office in Muscat told Times of Oman that the flights were cancelled due to “operational reasons”.
