‘Joint venture is answer to expats’ travel woes’

DUBAI: India’s central and state governments, members of Parliament from Kerala and the opposition should unite and act together for a joint ‘Air Kerala-Air India Express’ venture.
This was a suggestion for the solution of Air India’s woes by some Indian political stalwarts and bureaucrats in Dubai.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) Kerala state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan suggested the union and state joint action to help ease the travel problems of expatriate workers in the Gulf from Kerala, which according to him are shortage of aircraft, unacceptable seasonal fare hikes and unsolicited cancellations that allow exploitation by other airlines.
Vijayan was speaking after inaugurating the festivities of the 250th episode of Gulf Focus at a seminar organised by Malayalam Communications Limited, the company that owns Kairali, People and We television channels beaming from Kerala.
Gulf Focus is a programme aired by Kairali TV focusing on issues faced by Keralites in the Gulf states.
