THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Air India Express officials on Monday have assured Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan that the airline will restore flight services from the state that were reduced in the ongoing winter schedule, clarifying that the cuts were only temporary.
At a high-level meeting held in the Chief Minister's chamber in the Kerala Assembly, the airline's top officials briefed the Chief Minister that many of the curtailed services will be reinstated soon.
The assurance follows the state government's strong objection to the drastic reduction in flights from Kerala airports between October 2025 and March 2026.
Raising the issue during the meeting, Vijayan said that Kannur International Airport alone lost 42 weekly flights, with additional reductions from Kozhikode and Kochi.
