Doha: Indian budget airlines Air India Express will shift its Monday flight to the newly-opened Kannur International Airport in Kerala, India, to Friday.

In an earlier report about Air India Express starting flights on Friday from Doha to Kannur, we erroneously reported that it will be an additional service. It will not be an additional service but they are discontinuing their flight on Monday and rescheduling it to Friday from April.

“We are not adding an additional service, we are stopping the Monday flight and starting a Friday flight,” an Air India Express official clarified to The Peninsula.

Starting April first week, the four flights from Doha to Kannur and return will operate on Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.  

Another Indian low-cost carrier Indigo had also announced that it will be starting daily non-stop flights to and fro on the Doha-Kannur route from March 15.

The airport is located at Mattanur in Kannur district of Kerala. It is the fourth international airport in Kerala after Kozhikode, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
