Air India’s (AI) action of frequently cancelling its international flights from Kerala has evoked strong protests in the State, cutting across political affiliations.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, in a statement here on Saturday, protested against the frequent cancellation of Air India flights from the State. The steep hike in air fares to the Gulf along with the cancellation of flights had doubled the miseries faced by Gulf-bound passengers.
He wanted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to intervene urgently and make alternative arrangements. He said Kerala had raised these issues several times. He had once again brought the matter to the Prime Minister’s notice in the memorandum submitted when Dr. Singh was in Kochi for the Emerging Kerala event, he said.
