Air Kerala Express

Experts give thumbs down to Air Kerala Express, Gulf ship service

The assembly session that was adjourned sine die on Wednesday saw the government proposing two ambitious plans to alleviate the travel troubles of the 2.5 million non-resident Keralites working in the Gulf region.

The proposals aren't new, but were revived after there was a huge hike in airfares in this sector during peak season. Chief minister Oommen Chandy said on Monday that Kerala would once again approach the Centre for approval to establish Air Kerala Express airline for the benefit of people working in the Gulf.
