Air Kerala will not ease travel woes: Ex-minister

Muscat: Launching Air Kerala -” the south Indian state of Kerala's own airlines to the Gulf sector -” will not ease travel woes of Indian expats in the region, the state's former industries minister said.
"When the Government of India has failed completely in operating the Air India and Air India Express services to the Gulf sector, I don't believe that the state government will be able to operate a new private-public partnership airline for the benefit of expats,- Elamaram Kareem, Kerala's former state minister for industries and commerce, said.
"Air India and Air India Express are run with government funds. The government should initiate steps to make these airlines function properly for the benefit of the people. If they are managed professionally, then it would be helpful for the poor expats,- the ex-minister said while adding that the new Air Kerala, which comes with the private partnership, will be unaffordable for the poor expats.
