New Delhi: The government on Wednesday said that additional flights on the India-Qatar route will start shortly.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation said the new flights will be operated by Air India and Jet Airways.
Accordingly, Air India Express will operate the Trivandrum-Doha flight from June 25 to July 8, 2017.
Subsequently, Jet Airways will fly the Mumbai-Doha-Mumbai route from June 22.
Currently, three domestic airlines -- Jet Airways, IndiGo and Air India Express operate flights from several destinations in India to Doha.
The demand for more flights was on the rise after some Gulf countries led by Saudi Arabia cut ties with Qatar.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt last week severed diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing it of support for Islamist militants and Iran.
