British Airways keen to tap premium class passengers

Chennai: British Airways sees "India as a dynamic and vital travel market" and the European carrier is planning to tap the growing number of premium air travellers with high disposable income, especially from the Information Technology (IT) sector.
Mr. Coby, who inaugurated a travel and hospitality industry lab set up by the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on the IT corridor at Karapakkam, said the European carrier was keen to tap the growing premium air traffic from India to the U.K. and beyond.
The British Airways currently operates 43 flights per week, with a double daily service from London Heathrow to Mumbai and Delhi, a daily service to Bangalore, thrice a week to Kolkata and five times a week to Chennai.
Noting that the BA had a long-standing and enduring relationship with the TCS in India, Mr. Coby said all-out efforts were on to make the airlines domain traveller-friendly and more interactive.
