In a significant development that is set to revolutionize the air travel of Indian expatriates in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), two Dubai-based businessmen have launched a new low-cost airline called Air Kerala. The airline has recently received its initial no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Civil Aviation Ministry of India.
According to entrepreneurs Ayub Kallada and Afi Ahmed, Air Kerala aims to provide affordable flights for Indian expats travelling to their home state, Kerala which is located in the southern part of India.
The airline, which is registered under Zett Fly Aviation Private Limited, has been granted permission to operate scheduled commuter air transport services for the next three years.
