lhe UAE will not see major disruptions to Air India Express connectivity with Kerala despite the airline’s winter schedule adjustments, Gulf News can reveal, even as ticket prices to the southern Indian state have soared to between Dh1,200 and Dhl,400, following media reports of the cuts.

An airline source told Gulf News that the schedule adjustments are temporary, seasonal changes driven purely by market demand patterns, and that normal service levels will resume when the summer schedule begins in March. “Winter months see significantly higher demand towards northern Indian sectors from the Gulf, while summer months see increased traffic to Kerala due to school holidays and festivals like Onam.”
