AI, AIE to operate 56 more flights

Thiruvananthapuram: Air India (AI) and its low cost carrier Air India Express (AIE) will operate 56 more flights from Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikode and Mangalore airports to the Middle East from Saturday.
This is to bring down the airfares that had gone up and to restore the services that were curtailed during the 58-day strike by pilots of the national carrier owing allegiance to the Indian Pilot’s Guild.
The move was aimed at clearing the rush of the Non-resident Keralites working in the Middle East and planning to come home during Ramzan and Onam, an AI spokesman told The Hindu.
