E-MEMORANDUM FOR A DIRECT FLIGHT FROM EUROPE TO KERALA, "GODS
OWN COUNTRY"
 
After about 22 years of stay in Germany and about 23
visits to Kerala, I feel it is not an easy task to travel to my place. Usually
it takes one and a half days (36 Hours) to reach my destination in Kerala and the same
duration on the way back. We have enough number of Airports in Kerala, more than in
any other state in India. Despite this, travel to my place is not easy. About
99 % of the international flights from Europe reach Mumbai International Airport at
around midnight. Transit to the Domestic Airport at Mumbai at midnight by Taxi or by
Airport Bus with luggage, sleepy and tired children is a difficult task. Waiting at
the Domestic Airport for about 8 to 10 Hours for connecting flights is indeed
tedious.
If airlines are allowed to fly from European
Airports directly to any one of the International Airports in Kerala with or without a
stopover in Delhi, Mumbai, or Madras, it will be a very easy and attractive journey,
especially for those who live in Europe, USA and Canada. Such an air route
will naturally attract tourists who want to visit "GODS OWN
COUNTRY" KERALA. Now we always tend to avoid frequent visits to Kerala
due to the inconvenience and the duration of time involved to reach the destination.
While hosting this Home page, I thought there
may be so many who feel like me or suffer too much to reach their destination
in Kerala. Additionally, after the discontinuation of Air India Flights from
Germany, it is very difficult to get seats in other flights especially on short
notice.
Hence I request you to kindly go through the Request
Form given below for a Direct Flight to Kerala from Europe and click
submit after entering your name and e-mail address.
I will hand over all the memorandums
received to Kerala Samjam Authorities to forward to the
Minister/Representative concerned.
