Kerala Association of Travel Agents has contested Air India’s claim that it has launched more flights from the State to West Asian countries.
A spokesman for the association said here that winter schedule of Air India Express effective October 28 does not feature 19 existing West Asian services being operated from Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi airports.
These included 12 services from here and seven from Kochi, the spokesman said.
Also, 11 services from Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi to Saudi Arabia had been withdrawn. Air India reserved its worst treatment towards Thiruvananthapuram.
While Air India Express operated 48 services from Kozhikode and 33 from Kochi, there were only 21 from here, the spokesman said.
