Muscat: In a move that is bound to bring cheers to Kerala expatriates, Air India Express (A-I Express) will now be operating direct flights to the southern Indian state as well as increase the number of flights.
A-I Express, the Indian budget airline, has rescheduled its flight operations and from October 31, the airline will be operating direct flights to its three destinations in Kerala — Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi — from Muscat, in addition to the addition of two new flights to its fleet.
According to the new schedule, from Muscat, A-I Express will be operating daily seven standalone flights per week to Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram and four flights per week to Kochi. From Salalah, the airline will be operating two standalone flights per week to Kozhikode, one to Thiruvananthapuram, and one to Kochi.
The airline will now be operating 19 flights per week as against the existing 17 flights per week.
“In the winter schedule, which begins on October 30, Air India Express will be rationalising its routes between the Sultanate and India, especially focusing on Kerala, to offer convenient connectivity to passengers. The changes were made at the headquarters in India to meet the growing market demand. The new schedule will be more helpful for the passengers,” Mohit Sain, Air India’s Muscat country manager, told Times of Oman.
