          I highly doubt that flights have been cancelled, perhaps they are not loaded?

                      Maybe the birds are also reluctant to land there

                          The management should look to reduce costs not to increase them!!!

                              That surprises me. Even with the security concerns and all, the CMB-MAA route is one of the busiest routes that both airports have. According to Wikipedia, in a given year, it is the most traveled route to any destination from Chennai. Sri Lankan has multiple flights a day, and Jet Airways flight is in the middle of the night. Maybe people just didn't fly it because of the less frequency and the odd hours?
