In response to questions from travellers about bookings from Kerala to Abu Dhabi, the airline said on Twitter, “as per the latest update our flights from India have been suspended until 2 August. Do keep an eye on our website for future travel information.”

The Abu Dhabi-based airline had previously said all flights from India were suspended until July 31, citing government directives.
