IA to fly more flights to Gulf

Abu Dhabi: Indian, which has posted impressive growth figures in the Gulf-India sector in the fiscal ended March 2006, is set to substantially increase its presence in the region this summer with a huge jump in its operations out of Dubai, including direct daily flights to Chennai from Dubai.
Pankaj Srivastava, Regional Manager, Gulf, for IA, told Business Line that in response to the growing demand in the Gulf region, the airline plans to increase its flights out of Dubai to 35 per week. In March, the airline's Dubai-Mumbai operations were increased to a double daily flight schedule, taking the operations out of Dubai to 23 flights per week.
Srivastava said that plans are on to de-link the current Dubai-Hyderabad-Chennai operation and introduce separate daily direct flights to Chennai and Hyderabad from Dubai.
In addition, IA plans to make the Dubai-Kozhikode (Calicut) route a daily operation from June 1, by adding five more flights on the sector.
