Emirates Airline’s Deputy President highlights the Indian aviation market’s rapid growth and the need for expanded capacity to meet demand. He underscores the importance of increased competition, advocating for higher bilateral flying rights between Dubai and India. While Emirates remains open to partnerships with Indian airlines, it currently operates direct flights to nine Indian cities from Dubai. The airline emphasizes the necessity of matching capacity with India’s growing travel demand, as more airlines invest in long-haul operations in the country. Bilateral flying rights revisions are crucial, with the decision resting on government agreements between India and the UAE.
