KochiAirlines cancelled 10 flights from Kochi over three days.
Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria declared Saudi airports targets, except those in Mecca and Medina.
Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority said an attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid airport on Saturday killed at least 12 and injured 309.
Saria said the group will follow “airport for airport, blockade for blockade, and escalation for escalation.”
Kochi’s cancellations run through 13 October, and airport authorities will decide on other flights after assessing the situation.
