Air India to resume flights to Middle East next week

Keralites who put off their visit to their home owing to non-availability of seats and exorbitant airfare in the Gulf-Kerala sector may be able to reconsider their decision with Air India gearing up to resume its flights to the Middle East.
The airline, which was battered by a two-month long strike by the pilots, will restart its international operations by resuming its flights from Cochin and Calicut in Kerala to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia on August 9. Air India is operating two flights from Cochin and three from Calicut to Riyadh a week now.
Air India sources said that the flights to other destinations in the Middle East will be resumed subsequently. The management is currently working on fares and marketing plans for these routes under a ‘restoration plan’. They hope to normalise international operations by the end of August.
