Normal flights from September


Air India Express expects to resume normal service by September-end, while Air India is likely to operate normally by this month-end.

AIE has been cancelling several flights from Mangalore and from Kerala airports owing to employees' strike. Air India has been cancelling 20% of its services across the country.

“We are re-rostering the 400-odd pilots rejoining duty in phases. We have to make them undergo a series of tests before they are allowed to operate flights independently, as they were off-roster for more than 30 days,” an Air India official said.

The official said that the Kozhikode-Riyadh flight would resume by August 9. He said the Kochi-Riyadh flight was operating normally from August 1.
