The inaugural flight took off on September 9, coinciding with the Onam festival celebrations, a significant cultural event for Keralites. Further airport said that the new route serves as an Onam gift to expatriates from Kerala working in the Gulf region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new addition marks Air India Express’s eighth international route from TRV, expanding its network to 12 routes overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inaugural flight was operated by Boeing 737-800<\/a>, registered as VT-TGH. The aircraft taken on lease first flew for Jet Airways and was transferred to Vistara (UK) after Jet Airways shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
