Jet Airways (India) Ltd, has cancelled nearly 100 flights connecting to Kochi for a month until March end citing low demand.

Jet Airways has combined certain flights and cancelled those on alternate days. The flight cancellations are largely on routes to Gulf region, apart from a few domestic destinations as per a report in Mint.

Rival Kingfisher Airlines Ltd has been cancelling as many as 65 flights a day since 17 February owing to a cash crunch. Kingfisher Airlines is flying only 28 planes out of its total 64.

“Jet Airways has made changes to its schedule for some of its flights from Kochi to the Gulf on certain specific days for the period of mid-February until end March 2012 for operational reasons,” a Jet Airways spokesperson said
