Emirates is looking to operate its Airbus A380 services to more cities, including Delhi and Hyderabad, once the bilateral talks between the United Arab Emirates and India for more seating capacity is given to the company.
Ahmed Khoory, senior vice-president, commercial operations, West Asia and Indian Ocean for Emirates said there are a lot of attractive places in India and they would like to expand as much as possible if the bilateral talks go well.
Speaking at the India Aviation show after presenting one of the Emirates' luxury A380 aircraft at the venue, Khoory informed the Emirates' optimism over Indian skies comes in the light of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that his country was expecting to receive 20 million tourists.
Emirates operates 185 services on 10 routes in India and it currently has 65,000-seating capacity for Dubai from here. “Even a 100,000 seating capacity is not enough for us,” Khoory said.
Emirates operates over 1,800 flights per week from its hub at Dubai International Airport to close to 60 destinations around the world. This is the third time the airline is taking part in the biennial show.
