IC-537\/538 Calicut-Dubai-Calicut and IC-597\/598\u00a0\u00a0 Calicut-Sharjah-Calicut are expected to be withdrawn shortly.\u00a0Incidentally, the space left by Air India has been taken over by private operators as well as by the Gulf operators who are operating with full capacity and profitably.\u00a0 Similarly, the domestic flight Nos. IC-925\/926 Chennai-Calicut-Chennai and CD-993\/994 Delhi-Calicut-Mangalore-Delhi which were operating with full capacity flights have been withdrawn.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In addition to this, there is no flight to Calicut from Delhi in the evening.\u00a0 A flight presently operating to Bangalore in the evening should be extended to Calicut.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Several requests for restoration of these flights have been made and assurances were given.\u00a0 However, none of these flights have been restored so far.\u00a0 It is requested that some measures should be taken for immediate restoration of these flights and also for the proposed extension of flight from Bangalore.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need To Restore The Air India Flights Withdrawn From Indo-Gulf Sector &#8230; on 9 December, 2010 &gt; Title : Need to restore the Air India flights withdrawn from Indo-Gulf sector and to extend Delhi-Bangaluru flight upto Calicut in Kerala. \u00a0 SHRI M.K.
