Kannur airport faces connectivity challenges as airlines rationalise services

KANNUR: The ongoing war and the sharp rise in aviation turbine fuel prices have prompted several airlines in India, including Air India Express and IndiGo, to rationalise their flight operations across the country. The impact of these developments has also been felt at Kannur airport, where certain services have been reduced or suspended temporarily as part of the airlines’ efforts to manage operational costs and adjust capacity.

Flight services from Kannur airport are set to be reduced from July as airlines adjust their schedules in response to operational challenges. IndiGo’s direct service to Delhi, which currently operates daily from Kannur, will be reduced to three flights a week from July.

Similarly, the airline’s Bengaluru route will also see a cut in services. At present, two IndiGo flights operate daily between Kannur and Bengaluru, but from June 14, only one daily service will continue from June 15, while the second flight will be withdrawn.

In addition, IndiGo is set to restart a daily flight service between Kannur and Fujairah from June 25, further enhancing international connectivity from the airport.

There is some relief for passengers travelling from Kannur, as Air India Express is set to restore certain services that had been suspended in recent weeks. The airline’s Bengaluru service, which was discontinued on June 1, is scheduled to resume operations from June 23 with two flights a week.
