Emirates Airline is seeking to increase its bilateral rights with India as part of its expansion in the region.
The airline is in talks with the relevant authorities to expand bilateral rights and has indicated that it would be open to investments in India.
“Emirates will look at any opportunity that makes sense commercially. We are optimistic of FDI being allowed in the sector,” Majid Al Mualla, Emirates’ senior vice president for commercial operations, Indian Ocean, told The Times of India.
“We are witnessing a growth of 18 percent in the very important Indian market and our 185 weekly flights see load factors of over 80 percent. There is a need to increase capacity as we are fully utilising the current rights given to us and we are waiting for some good news soon,” he added.
