India's top airlines are profiteering on the backs of poor workers, says Kerala Indira Youth Congress vice-president Praveen Kumar.
He called on Indian associations in Bahrain and elsewhere to join forces to force the Indian government to bring down fares.
Mr Kumar's call follows a similar appeal last week by the Bahrain Malayalee Business Forum (BMBF), which says fares home charged by the two national carriers, Air India and Indian, are too high.
It has threatened to stage a boycott of both airlines, unless prices are slashed.
But airline officials say the fares are fixed by the Yield Implement Committee (YIC), which is made up of all airlines operating in Bahrain and chaired by Gulf Air.
