Hurdles may delay launch of India airline, says leader

Sharjah: The spreading of Air Kerala’s wings over the Indian skies still depends on the removal of an array of hurdles, a visiting high-level ruling party politician said in Dubai on Tuesday.
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President Ramesh Chennithala said that his party and the Kerala state government will try to solve all these hurdles in the way of taking the airline into the skies.
Chennithala, however, did not say that the airline will not take off on April 14 as announced by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy at Thiruvananthapuram on Monday.
Chandy had said that the government would launch Air Kerala on April 14 to coincide with Vishu, the Malayalam New Year Day.
Some of those problems include federal permission to operate international flights, leasing of aircraft, operating at affordable prices for commoners, fuel price, etc., he said.
