He, however, could not explain the reason behind the cancellation of the flights.

“I don’t know the reason,” he said.

Tour operators in the state have expressed concern over the way the flights were cancelled ahead of the onset of peak tourist season.

“This will affect tourism in our state,” said Benjamin Simon, president of the state’s Travel Agents Association.
