During this season the flights to Kerala will be overlooked.\u00a0 But Air India often delays or cancels these flights at the last minute citing technical problem.\u00a0 There are also complaints regarding the formalities for the booking of seats in the Air India Express, i.e online booking using credit cards, on the ground that a good majority of the passengers belong to the low income segments having no credit cards or internet facilities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In order to solve the problems of the Gulf passengers with regard to their journey in Air India flights, Government of India and Air India may be requested to start more services in this sector.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need To Introduce More Air India Flights On Gulf Route With A View To &#8230;
