Earlier this year, tensions between India and Maldives had increased after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep. Some ministers of the government there had made lewd comments on social media on PM Modi’s visit to Maldives. After this, they insulted the Prime Minister, and the country was not liked by Indians and many companies here, after which the phase of a boycott of Maldives started. Ease My Trip also cancelled all flight bookings in protest against the Maldives government. Then CEO Nishant Pitti wrote in an X post that we are united with the nation. Therefore, the company is suspending the booking of all flights to Maldives.
