Rumors of mass cancellations to the Maldives swirl online, but are they true? Major airlines like IndiGo deny unusual trends, while EaseMyTrip's booking suspension reflects the boycott's growing influence. As the #BoycottMaldives campaign gains momentum, the future of India-Maldives tourism remains uncertain.
In a sign of national solidarity, leading Indian travel portal EaseMyTrip has suspended all Maldives flight bookings following derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Modi by Maldivian officials. This move fuels the #BoycottMaldives campaign and shines a light on Lakshadweep as a potential alternative destination.
Air India Express will operate these flights under the Vande Bharat Mission phase 4 to south Indian cities from Sharjah, according to the Indian Consulate in Dubai.
