Emirates announced a further expansion of its India operation as India propels itself to become one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation industries encouraged by a liberalisation of its skies Gulf News reports.
The Dubai-based airline will add 22 weekly flights as a direct support for the Indian government’s ambitious growth plan to attract 100 million travellers in 2010. The existing service of 163 flights per week to 10 Indian gateways will be strengthened to 185 over the summer and winter periods. High demand routes – Ahmedabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram – will be the chief beneficiaries.
Underlying Emirates’ continued investment in India, the airline’s expansion programme closely follows its ‘Journey through India’ campaign which involved a major revamp of the in-flight product to meet regional preferences of India’s diverse populace.
Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations West Asia and Indian Ocean said: “The global slowdown is not over yet, but the outlook for the future is showing signs of improvement”.
