They directed me to enquire with Arkia airline ticket handling office at Tel-Aviv airport (ISSTA, second floor in Tel-Aviv airport).

She also told me that airline has informed in advance to MakeMyTrip about the cancelled flight Arkia IZ ***. It is MakeMyTrip's duty to inform about changes/ update/ cancelled flight service to the customer.
Still **.**.**** night **:** Israel time, I did not get any updates from MakeMyTrip and Arkia Airlines to my mobile number and E-Mail address. I have called to MakeMyTrip customer care number (+*************) through skype paid service and I talked to them for more than ** min and they said that they did not get any information about the cancelled flight service of Arkia IZ *** on **.**.****. They insisted me to cancel the ticket and to get a refund from my side. I requested them to provide an alternative ticket to travel on the same day or **.**.**** or **.**.**** from Tel-Aviv to Cochin. But they did not agree to do any alternative and help me out in the issue.
I contacted to Arkia airline through email (customer.service@arkia.co.il and incoming@arkia.co.il) and complained about this issue. They provided the information that they informed about the cancellation of flight service of Arkia IZ *** in advance to MakeMyTrip on **.**. ****. They also told me that it is MakeMyTrip's duty to update this information to the customer. They are ready to approve the full refund of ticket charge. Further, they insisted me to reschedule my travel plan on **.**.**** and they will agree to provide a ticket to fly from Tel-Aviv to Cochin in Arkia airlines scheduled on **.**.****. They are not agreed to offer a connection flight ticket to travel from Cochin to Chennai.
