Gulf Air Flight Cancellation: Ambassador's Intervention Sought
TDT | Manama An association of expatriates from Calicut in India, named Kozhikode Jilla Pravasi Forum (KPF), has filed a representation to the Ambassador of India to Bahrain, His Excellency Vinod K. Jacob, to address the pressing issue of Gulf Air's decision to discontinue flights to Calicut and to reduce services to Kochi. The appeal was made during a formal meeting held at the Indian Embassy, where KPF representatives submitted a representation requesting intervention to restore these crucial routes. The delegation, comprising newly elected office bearers, highlighted the severe inconvenience caused to the Indian expatriate community by the cancellation of these flights. Among those in attendance were Sudheer Thirunilath (President), Arun Prakash (General Secretary), Jamal Kuttikkattil (Patron), Akhil Thamarassery (Vice President), Sudhi Chathoth (Sports Wing Convener), and Sajna Sanoop (Ladies Wing Convener). Ravi Jain, Second Secretary, HOC, and CW at the embassy, also participated in the discussions. Flights between Bahrain and Calicut historically served as a vital link for the Indian expatriate community, with Gulf Air previously operating multiple weekly flights. These routes had high occupancy rates, reflecting their importance to workers and families travelling between the two regions. Delay in Police Verification In addition to the flight cancellations, the KPF delegation raised concerns about prolonged delays in police verification for passport renewals, which they noted was causing undue stress to expatriates. Labour issues faced by Indian workers in Bahrain were also a key focus, with the forum seeking the Embassy's support in resolving these challenges. The meeting also provided an opportunity for KPF to brief the Ambassador on its ongoing activities and initiatives aimed at supporting the community.

Kerala's Gulf Bridge Disrupted: Expatriates Rally for Action
The decision by Gulf Air to cancel flights to Calicut and reduce services to Kochi has ignited a wave of online protests and appeals from passenger associations, who see these routes as more than just flights but as lifelines that have carried generations of Indians to the opportunities and livelihoods offered by the Gulf region. Yesterday, the Kozhikode Jilla Pravasi Forum (KPF), an association representing air passengers from Calicut, filed a representation to H.E. Dr. S. Jaishankar, the Minister of External Affairs of India, seeking his intervention. KPF highlighted that Calicut, located on India's Malabar coast in the state of Kerala, has historically been a vital hub for travelers to the Gulf, particularly Bahrain and other GCC countries. The association stressed that Gulf Air's decision disrupts an essential lifeline for expatriates who rely on these flights for affordable and convenient travel. Historical Significance Calicut's relationship with the Gulf dates back centuries to its days as a prominent port city in the global spice trade. The connection grew stronger in the 1970s when a wave of migration from Kerala to the oil-rich Gulf region began. Gulf Air became a critical player in this movement, enabling workers to reach Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. Over the years, these routes served not just economic migrants but also families maintaining bonds across borders and businesses trading goods between India and the Gulf. A Plea for Action KPF underscored that Gulf Air's four weekly flights to Calicut were consistently full, with occupancy rates exceeding 90 percent, reflecting the high demand for these services. The decision to terminate operations has sparked widespread concern, particularly among expatriates who now face higher costs and fewer options for travel. In their plea to the Indian Minister of External Affairs, KPF urged the government to initiate discussions with Gulf Air's management, Bahrain's aviation authorities, and the Indian Ambassador to Bahrain. They hope such efforts can lead to a reversal of the decision, which has disrupted the lives of thousands of families who depend on these vital connections. The association's president, Sudheer Thirunilath, said it also plans to approach India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the Bahraini authorities to seek solutions under the framework of the Air Services Agreement between the two nations, as it mandates that capacity and frequency of services should align with air transport demand. For expatriates, this is about preserving a bridge of hope — a link that has not only transported people across borders but has also carried aspirations, sustained livelihoods, and fortified bonds that span continents and generations.
