Close on the heels of the Director General of Civil Aviation rapping a couple of airlines for cancelling their regular flights, yet another major Indian carrier, Jet Airways, has resorted to a massive cancellation of its flights from Cochin airport to the Gulf sector.
According to official sources, the flights cancelled included 20 flights in the Kochi- Doha-Kochi route, six flights in the Kochi-Sharjah-Kochi route, 10 flights in the Kochi-Muscat and 11 flights in the Muscat-Kochi sectors. In addition, the airline has also cancelled two Sharjah and two Muscat services each from Thiruvanathapuram.
Meanwhile, the carrier, in an official statement made to The Hindu , said that Jet Airways made changes to its schedule for some of its flights from the Kochi on certain specific days for operational reasons. “All flight schedules are planned, and are operated with intimation to the regulator,” it said.
According to it, the airline informs its patrons of all changes in schedule through the airline‘s call centre and travel agents, also adding that the revised schedule was available on the airlines official website www.jetair ways.com.
“There are hardly any cancellations from the other airports and when worked out, the cancellations from Kochi are quite insignificant, ” said an official spokesperson.
