Air India Express likely to cut down services to Gulf

Trichy: Air India Express' flights to the Gulf countries from Trichy are likely to be fewer in winter, and Abu Dhabi, a sought-after destination, is most likely be taken off the route map in October.
At present, the carrier operates two services a week: Chennai-Trichy-Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi-Trichy-Chennai on Thursdays and Saturdays. Though the revised proposal is yet to get the nod from the office of the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), it is most likely to be implemented from the third week of October, said an official with Air India Express, who refused to be identified.
In November last, the Air India Express had announced the cancellation of nine flights (to Kuala Lumpur and Chennai) between November 7 and November 13 due to what it called "crew constraints and inevitable reasons".
